Can anyone tell me the secret on how to remove the companionway stairs ?
I want to take them out so I can refinish them. I can also get a little better access to the engine to clean up some wiring.
There's one part of the stairs by the galley that i can't figure out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I remembered to look today. On the top step, Port side there are 2 teak plugs. Remove those 2 plugs and I will guarantee you will find 2 screws or bolts that go down vertically into the fiberglass.

On Passage the screws are exposed on the port side of the top step or platform. They're like 3-1/2" #6 or #8 pan-head screws, each with a raised, decorative washer.

Can't find the screws on the galley side step.
I think they're underneath plugs. I'll try to drill out the plugs and see what I find.

I remove mine all the time when I'm servicing the engine. Super quick. It's just the obvious bolts that you've already found, plus there are two regular wood screws on the top stair (drilled downward) closest to the galley sink.

Thanks. It's the starboard side that has me stumped.
I'll look from the galley.

Did you remove all the bolts and screws? I believe the top step has a few screws into the galley cabinets and is bolted on the starboard side, while the bottom is bolted to floor brackets. Undo all the fasteners then give it a good whack. I did the same thing when I refurbished Passage’s brightwork some years ago.
