Welcome to the M-15 world, Charles, And let me add another caution about removing the bow pulpit before you've stood on that deck in a rough sea.
My grandkids like to sit (sprawl) on the fore deck (when the seas aren't rough) and only because the bow pulpit is there will I permit them to do so. It is a safely device - not an embellishment.
