Does anyone have First Hand knowledge on how to remove the radar arch on a 1999 cruisers 3375. I have removed and re-installed arches on several different boats...this one has me stumped ! The big question is how to get to the bolts ??

Can you post some pictures of the junction of the arch to the upper hull? Also any area below this junction (where the nuts might be). I doubt that Cruisers bolted the arch to the upper hull before assembling the upper to the lower. Perhaps you can cut assess ports if they did. Have you had any luck contacting Cruisers or a dealer?

Navigator thanks for the responce. It took me a while but I finally was able to get it off. I'll post the sequence here incase anyone else might need to know. On the port side: Disconnect and remove the cockpit icemaker, behind the icemaker is access to three of the four bolts. Next remove the port speaker, you will have access to the last (top) bolt. On the starbord side, remove the seat bolster, there is a small access hole behind the seat....it is very difficult, however with several different socket extensions you can get those three bolt out. Remove the starboard speaker..there is bolt number 4. On the starboard side is also the wiring which needs to be labled and cut (for later splicing). These arches were also bedded pretty good with sealant, even without any of the bolts, two men could not budge it at all.....we had to use a long thin knife to cut the calk out.
