    Sliding door removal

    I have a 34 CHB and I need to refinish the sliding cabin door. I can see I need to remove the block at the bottom rail, it has a screw to remove. But I cannot figure out how to get the top block removed no screw visible. I tried to tap it out the backside but it won't budge! Thanks

    Gulf Islands

    We are going to make our first trip up to the Gulf Islands. We will have about four or five days to look around. Where would you suggest we spend each night? Maybe two night in a marina and three night on the hook we prefer to not be around big crowds if that's possible! Thanks for any ideas

    Where does this go?

    On my new to me CHB this hole appears to be a drain for the flybridge. There is one in each side but I can't see what they are suppose to drain, any ideas?

    Purchase contract

    This is my first experience buying a boat with a survey! When you purchasing a boat form a private party, when do you sign a purchase contract and give a deposit? Before a sea trial or after?
