Swim step removal. The tools; a sharpened putty knife, nylon spatula,heat gun, rubber mallet, 2X6 & a floor jack. You can see the step actually bending under the load but not budging.

Some damage to the gelcoat. Couldn't be avoided as this was the first side I started working on. Better this than the hull.

I can now more easily address this. The transom cap coming unglued. Plan is some black 4200 and clamps.

Nice and clean. Some "GOOF-OFF", a single edged razor & elbow grease did the trick. Very minimal damage to the gelcoat; a few scratches but nothing major. Now to repair the holes & re-gelcoat prior to kicker install. The wire for the transducer will also be properly installed; I didn't want it to interfere w/ the Mini-Jacker.

Another issue that is solved. The swim step would hit the engine when I turned full to starboard as evidenced by the small damage to the cowl. No more. I'll make sure to mount it w/ 1" or so of clearance now.
