Thanks Bill!
Funny, my flotation is not attached to anything...it just sits in there.
The only problem removing it might be that it is a little long to ease out
of the compartment.
How much blue dow styro did you use? how did you figure that part out?
Can we be sure that what flotation was originally installed is enough?
Considering how much care the builders of my boat took to install all the
thru deck stuff (no backing plates, no washers!!!) i wonder how much care
they took...at all!

An additional problem would be how to keep them in place as they would simply 'float away' if not properly attached. Affixing mounting plates (I didn't want to have mounting screws through the hull/deck for this) seemed to be more of a hassle than using the Dow blue styrofoam (about $30) from the building supply store.

I used a short handled landscaping trench shovel (sorta like a clam shovel with a square end) and a left over piece of 1/4" polypro sheet that I made the companionway door from as scrapers. You literally have to scrape it off the bottom of the seats.
