Randall, I checked the grab handles today and you may be right as the screws bed almost 1 1/2" (I have one off.) After looking at the teak connection at the top I think if you do decide to try and tap the verticals toward one another you'll have to remove the 7/16" covering that is on either side of the sliding hatch, I think the way the verticals are "keyed" that the covering is in the way. I still think tilting the bulkhead out is the best method. Are the (2) fasteners at the top of the verticals lined up with the horizontal teak frame around the hatch?

Thanks for this hint, Greg. There were plenty of nails in my companion way hatch frame, but on two sides only (bottom and starboard. It appeared as though a six inch wide section of bulkhead abutting the companionway on the port side had been replaced, and here there were no nails. So, I think the use of the ring nails was original. It sure would be concistent with their use on other areas of the boat.

...appreciated.

We had guests coming into town this weekend that I thought would 86 boat work plans. Now they only want to do dinner. So to the boat I go.

I'll let you know next week how go the companionway frames.

Thanks again,

RR

I'm jealous of the guys that can work on their boats outside all year round! I'm stuck working in my basement until April!!!!
