Removing cockpit tables

We have taken our tables (including the bases) off the deck to replace the electric motors. We coudln't get the table top off the base without drilling out the teak plugs on the table top to access the nuts of the bolts that hold the top onto the upper part of the aluminium base. I saw a 575 a few years ago which was a 2016 model and the owner was able to unscrew the timber top off the top plate of the base because the nuts were somehow fixed into the table top. He could unscrew the top from underneth without drilling out the teak plugs.

I will PM you the Scandvik guide that shows you the procedure, but the step you do before the guide begins is backing out the (4) flat head/counter sink screws that hold it to the cockpit floor.  The table, telescoping parts, and base plate will then be free ... attached to the boat only by the wiring.

The guide then has you (a) undo the strain relief for the wiring, (b) undo 4 flat screws from the underside that hold the telescoping parts to the base plate and (c) undo the 4 bolts that go to the motor housing.

In my case, there was not much excess wire available to pull through the floor, so an extra person could be a big help to you.

I think you need to take the base off the deck because the motor is in the bottom of the base. The first time we took the base off the deck it was a difficult job and there was some concern about damaging our teak but with care there was no damage. We have done both tables twice. When we refitted the tables we used only a small amount of Sika which made removal easier the next time. The motor is small and available as a replacement part.
