[alberg30] Teak Drop Hatches

[T K Blanc]

George Dinwiddie suggested removing the bolts, unscrewing the big bronze fitting (apparently it's threaded on), and bringing the whole thing to a machine shop to have the cutless pressed out/in. I'm going to try this next time (I've cut the bearing before: it is somehwat difficult to cut the brass bearing sleeve without scarring the bronze fitting).

By the way, what is that bronze fitting called?
