Tracking Fin Replacement

[Funwine]

Could anyone tell me if removing and replacing one of the three tracking fins on the bottom of the boat (97 Nautique) is a difficult process? Would it require special tools, calking or sealant

Pretty easy. Remove, clean up surface, and reinstall.

Thank you for your feedback. I truly appreciate it. So removing the screws was easy? It didn’t require a impact driver to remove them?

I have a broken one to replace as well. I was thinking 4200 over 5200 in case it happens again.

Some screws come out easier than others, just hand tools, heat from heat gun helps, also plastic razor blade scrapers help in removing all the old sealant. I purchased new stainless steel screw to save time in trying to clean the old ones. Also used acetone to clean up old residue and any slop after installing new, use gloves and respirator
