Hello All, I'm looking to remove and replace the live well on my 21 Parker SE. Screws holding it down were wet when I went to reseal them. I want to make sure their is not rot and then let it dry and replace it right back. Is this a very difficult job? Any help would be greatly appreciated! George
 
It isn't too bad. Really need 2 people to handle livewell during re-install.

Before removal, draw a pencil line around livewell. This provides a guide for masking tape @ reinstall. I put down a heavy bead of silicone on floor and 5200 in and around each screw hole.

The trick is to guide livewell drain fitting onto drain pipe as you place livewell on deck.
As to not smear sealants, I used 4x4 blocks and shifted/removed as I worked everything
in place (did it by myself).

When you see how Parker engineered this, you might be impressed....impossible for
livewell drain to fall off.

Livewell feed can be installed after livewell is installed.
 
I just removed mine to replace the bait well hose. I removed al the screws holding it down and hoped for it to pop off, no such luck. That thing was glued to the floor. I tried everything from laying down and kicking it, to having someone help me pull it up with no luck. I finally got two clamps and put a whole lot of pressure on them and let it sit for 20 minutes and it finally poped. Mind you this has never been removed since original install in 2000. In one small section it lifted a small amount of wood so be careful, luckily it was under the bait well section. Hope this helps.

Scoring the sealent and using Debond will help. Using the clamps as a jack is a SUPER idea. Using wooden wedges can help too,

If the screws were wet when you removed them, you may want to overbore those mounting holes.
Let the core dry (if it is damp), then fill the overbored holes with epoxy to protect the core in the future.
After the epoxy has cured, you can re-drill into the epoxy plugs for your mounting screws, which will keep the core protected in the future.

Examine any holes in the deck (that you hoses pass through) for similar exposed wood.
If you find any, coat that wood with epoxy as well, to protect it in the future.

Go easy on any sealant when you button everything up as you might need to replace hoses sometime in the future.
A little sealant goes a long way. :wink:
