yes the coaming bolsters look correct. i have read that some are screw from the back but i cant feel any screw or bolts. So i guess i just lift up on them and they should come out? Is this correct?

Here are some pictures of how mine came off. There are plugs with compression fins on them. There were also two through bolts at the extreme front edge towards the bow. All the rest were compression plugs. Hope this helps
