Trying to pull off the bow rail to fix some spider cracks....

Found most locations but trying to figure out the bow stantion that is hidden behind the 45 degree piece (vinyl covered) that fits between the closet and rope locker. Any idea on how this pulls off as there are no visible screws? Also have to find access to the station that is behind the 12v main switches. I think I need to pull the refrig to get the TV out and the rest are located.

Thanks,
Ed
 
So the 45 degree piece was held in with a hidden screw right in the middle (by the piping) and at the top. This one screw holds the whole piece in place but its mostly a friction fit. Other tidbits...Microwave removal (not refrig) gains access to the cleat and a stantion. The access panel in the shower can be moved over to the port slightly to cut the hole larger (or you can't fit your hand into the area). The access panel in the medicine cabinet needs to be trimmed with a sawzall which does not effect the access panel sealing.

Also, found the stantions have small set screws at the rail which allows you to turn them into the boat. Also used old yogurt containers on the end of the stantions to keep them from scratching the boat.
