Need ratchet for NE end Slip-board Unbolting
Slip board unbolting can begin anytime after the hoists are removed. Removing the bolts prior to dock out day speeds up dock out and makes more efficient use of the crowd at dock out. This is a good alternate work assignment. It can be done on the person’s own schedule anytime from Sunday afternoon of Hoist out and before Dock out.
Most bolts should work with a ½” wrench. There may be some that require a 9/16” wrench. There are several ½” wrenches at the club. A ratchet will help, but not necessary. It is a good idea to tie two wrenches together with a string incase one gets dropped.
This can be done by crawling out onto the board. Be careful not to fall into the water, especially, after the bolts are removed. An alternative is to use the rowboat. Kneepads are helpful.
Do not remove bolts from slip board around old blue. If there is another person there you can also remove the sun deck and set it on the dock. Keep screws for the sun deck together, there should be a Ziploc bag in the garage for them. Do not remove the bolts from the slip boards around the sun deck until it has been removed.
1) Remove bolts from connection at stanchions. Depending on timing, leave one bolt in outer stanchion but loose. If only a couple days from dock out and weather forecast (wind) is mild then remove all 4 bolts. Please try to keep sets of bolts together and place in can that can be found in the garage. Claw hammer may be helpful in removing stubborn bolts.
