Good morning from Greece. I have recently bought a 2004 Fountain 48 EC. I will commence refit and want to remove the radar arch from the boat. Does anyone know how the radar arch is bolted on the boat? Removal instructions? Thanks

It is thru bolted from the top side down. About 5-6 on either side. Have to go in thru the bilge, access holes and sink area. That’s the easy part, then you’ll have to carefully away/separate since they basically epoxied them together as well. We removed an arch and replaced with a full hard top. So it can be done! My wife and I did all the work 😎

If you are not concerned about preserving it/reselling it; I'd just lop it off on each side with a sawzall, and then remove both parts lower mount points without all that mass/weight to deal with.
