We just took the Genoa tracks off last weekend for the same reason.All
bolts were accessible although some were not convienient. No cutting of
fiberglass was necessary.

<p><tt>Hello,</tt>
<p><tt>I need to make 2 repairs to my 1966 A-30:</tt>
<p><tt>(1) I need to replace the wood under the Genoa tracks. It appears
that</tt>
<br><tt>the bolts go all the way through the deck, and thus that the nuts
can</tt>
<br><tt>only be reached by cutting into the fiberglass behind the storage</tt>
<br><tt>cabinets.</tt>
<p><tt>(2) In a related vein, about 2 feet of toe rail is rotted, port
side,</tt>
<br><tt>aft starting at about the front of the cockpit. I could use the
existing</tt>
<br><tt>piece for a pattern, or have a local shop make me the piece. With</tt>
<br><tt>regards to removing and installing, it apears that the bolts go
through</tt>
<br><tt>in the same manner as the genoa track bolts. Do I also have ot
cut</tt>
<br><tt>fiberglass to gain access to the nuts?</tt>
<p><tt>Any comments from anyone who has done these jobs would be appreciated.
I</tt>
<br><tt>have not yet checked the maintenance manual, is there information
on</tt>
<br><tt>this there?</tt>
<p><tt>Thanks,</tt>
