Ok I tried the rocna 15 and it will hit the hull on my 1997 hull 424.
Nice access panel to get at the bolts. Bolts removed, nut, lock washer and a flat washer.
How do you get the roller off when it has been put down with, I think 5200?
Heat? How much before impacting the gel coat.
Can any one help ?
