John,You'll need to cut gently down the side from top, from bottom up and loosen it up till it comes out.

How on earth is it set into the deck hole? I have tried all manner of trying to get it loose to no avail. You can stand on it so it’s solid but I have a hard time understanding how if the sides are all vertical.

Also, the hinge side has seal issue and is prone to leaking. Not a great design. I took mine out about 8 years ago, changed the seal, plexi, and reset it. I can’t remember what I did in the resetting process but it has been 98% good since then. It’s not perfect with the odd drip occasionally, but I’m leaving well enough alone. I know that’s not much help for you.

Have tried various sealants which all have failed mainly because they lose adhesion to the vertical aluminum surface. Cannot figure out how to remove the frame so I can clean it and reseal (with butyl?). There are no visible flanges. It is a tight fit to the hole cur in the deck. Has anyone had similar issues? Is there a flange on the frame that is sealed to the underside of the deck? Is it just glued in with plexus or similar? All thoughts welcomed John ReadLegacy III1982 C&C 34Noank, CT
