Default Tips for Silent Thunder platform removal?

I am taking it off and I dont want to damage the hull any pointers as I hear these can be stuck to the gel coat.

Thanks

Mine was stuck on pretty hard, especially at the top. There was a green epoxy on it that must not have been totally set when it was installed new. Had to keep working it up and down to get it to break loose but it still pulled a couple of small places off the gel coat. Wasn't a big problem for me as I was putting it back on anyway.

I took an oil filter wrench and twisted the tips back and forth until they broke loose and then gently pryed on them with a flat blade screwdriver until they came out! Pretty easy...

NOMO... Sorry I havent gotten any pictures to you yet, I am at the firestation today and will be home tomorrow where I will hopefully remember to send those to you!
