how easy is it to remove cap and liner?
i'm getting ready for a rebuild on my 85cc and i'm wondering how hard it is to pop the liner out in 1 piece.i see it is held together with screws in the rubrail and glassed together a little under the bow and on the transom.another question is that cabosil they have on the stringers and bulkheads glueing the liner to the hull?any help would be appreciated .thanks, matt

After you remove the rub rail and all the screws, its just a matter of getting it started. Its just caluked on there, it will pop!
Do a search it has been done a few times on here and the guys added some nice pictures. These boats are 3 pieces, Cap, liner, and hull good luck

I'm not sure what they call the stuff that they bond the liner to the hull with. The fiberglass shop called it bonding putty and it is a two part product. You will need some when you put the liner back in unless you decide to glass it back together. The 85 center console is a one piece liner like my 83. Use a putty knife under the cap to break the grip of silicone adhesive there and then make some wedges out of wood to drive in between the liner and the bonding putty they placed on top of the stringers. It helps to have a way to lift the liner up. When I did mine it didn't want to move until I got the forklift involved. I cut some 2x4's so they fit under the lip of the hatches in the front, tied a rope to the forks and started lifting gently. At some point I got a little carried away and lifted the boat slightly off the trailer in front so when the front started to move the rest came loose instantly and the boat layed back down on the trailer. I was standing in the hull at the time and it got my attention LOL Inspection of the two parts after revealed that all of the putty remained on the stringers as the liner peeled away clean. Used a second forklift to lift the liner clear then the fun started in earnest.

This was my reply to another person asking the same info:
We just disconected and labled all the wires that run through th floor to the CC. Disconnected the steering and throttle cables and then removed the CC. You will also need to disconect any gas lines and lighting wires that will be an issue. We then removed the motor and rub rail. Under the rub rail you will find all the screws that hold the two sections together and they need to be removed. We then hooked a rope to the upper deck and rigged a pulley up in a big tree limb and down to my buddies truck. We also went around and popped the two sections apart as they had been caulked together. He just then started to raise the inner section as I watched for any other things that may be connected. After it was high enough to clear the hull we pushed the trailer and hull out of the way and lowerd it back down. One thing to remember is to make sure you use a branch strong enough to hold the weight as that was our first mistake. LOL You then have access to the transom, flooring and you can inspect stringers. Taking the boat apart only took us one weekend but your boat is a different year so all this could be totaly wrong for your boat. I also replaced most of the wiring at the same time but my boat had sunk and need new wires. If your thinking about doing this and would like to talk PM me your # and I'll give you a call.
