Planning to have arch on my '95 31 Open refinished (peeling paint, corrosion around penetrations, fill old mounting holes) over the winter.  Has anyone had this done?  Is it just the 5 screws on each side that hold it on the boat?  Any advice appreciated.

My 1997 31 Open had four decent sized Phillips headed bolts on each side of the arch on the inboard side of the arch.  Those five outboard bolts/screws in the photo seem significantly smaller.  You need to reach through an access port to put a wrench or socket on the nuts, BTW.  Bob

Great, I'll check it out tomorrow.
