Has anyone ever had to remove the flybridge from a 372 Catalina double cabin? Need to have the boat trucked from N.C. to Texas. Can't find any bolts, screws or hardware of any kind, almost seems like its glued down but I know that can't be right.

Sounds like the mount screws are pluged, sanded, and painted over.

I think your boat was mfg. in the late 80's ?? If so there just might be a board that is visible from the interior of the flybridge sitting on the cabin top.
If this is visible then the interior headliner must be removed to have access to the mounting screws.
You will need to cut the caulk line out - and it will be a bear to get off. All of your electrical and cable lines will either need to be cut or removed. Whatever you do please mark them as you go. Makes life so much easier when putting it all back together.
Let us know the outcome.
