I took off the starboard side handrail today. Based on what I learned from taking off port side handrail, this one went reasonably fast. Surprisingly, this side of screws have been replaced with philips stainless steel screws.
I also realized that the screws are actually backing onto fiberglass...previously I had thought they would have backed onto the wood core, I suppose this is normal?
