The deck cover has gotten wet somehow and is getting soft. I need to remove to repair the rotten wood. The entire deck assembly was lowered down with the gas tank deck installed, the tee top MUST be removed from the deck to allow the CC to be lifted at least 6 inches to allow the front of the gas tank deck to be removed. The gas tank cover is designed so the front lip goes under the cc about 3 inches forward and has a cut out where all the cables and wires run. The deck is now bonded to the rest of the boat by foam. It can't be lifted the same way it went in now that the foam has been injected. Bad design for any below deck repairs.
