So I spent several hours disassembling and unbolting the dodger. No major problems. Then the time came to pull the frame off the cabin top. Oh shit. It has been bedded down in some sort of uber-compound, probably 3M 5200 or some other hyper-adhesive crap that should never see the light of day on a boat. In any case, getting it off was going to do more damage to the cabin top than it was worth, so I decided that it will have to stay in place and we will just have to do the standard mask-around when painting.
As always, bolting it back together took twice as long as taking it apart, and the weather gods decided to start hitting me with short, sharp downpours as soon as all the bolt holes were open. Ugh. Long story short: a full day of hard work with nothing to show for it.
Rum time.
PS: Thanks for all your help, Sarah!
