311... Removing pads from rear Hatch ?
Anyone remove the pads from the rear Hatch on a 311? The pad closest to the stern came apart at the seam ...Removed the Mirrors and all the screws and the pad still wont come out.... Looks like the Hatch hinge bolts might be the problem? Maybe there are just Lag screws thru the deck and 1/2" plywood on the pad? Thanks ...mike

I've pulled the hatch apart on a 312 and a 382. You have to dismantle the entire dam thing! I took it off the boat, flipped it over and removed the mirror, hinges, then the entire fiberglass "inside" had to be pulled off. If I remember correct there are screws/bolts under the inner liner that hold the padded section to the outside.

Had a very similar situation with my 91' 292. Looked just like yours off......even stainless staples will rust.....depends if they came from China or not 
I had to dismantle because the hatch hinge had worked loose. From your pics, your pads were original, same as mine. Not bad shape for an 89 IMO.

offthefront,
Unrelated, but what product did you use on your decking? I really like the color, and it looks to be doing a great job sealing/protecting. I need to do my deck this spring, and you have the color that I had in mind.
Appreciate any info.
