Engine hatch mirror removal
Any tips on removing the mirror on an engine hatch? Thought about using wooden door shims (wedges) so I don't gouge the gelcoat.....not trying to re-use the mirror but don't want to f'up the hatch.
Thanks
Thanks

Forget it !!! Just cover it up with what ever you are thinking of using. If you wanted to paint it buy a piece of White laminate and paint that and stick it to the mirror. It is the 2nd worst job on the boat, is removing the tanks.

Tanner, your right, major PIA to remove but leaving it is not an option. Was hoping the mirror was just stuck in places but it is fully bonded.
Used DeBond years ago to remove an engine bracket and just ordered some more to try. I'll let you know how it works this go round.....

Hey, BARRON did you buy the boat from derrick key through phil ? The boat is awesome. When i bought the boat it had bad gimbal rings and the drives were not aligned properly with the tie bar. I fixed everything from rings to new floor to interior etc. I have had it 4 years and love it.Do you now have a fountain?
