OK, I've finally gotten around to this project. Here's where things stand right now on the starboard side. I haven't gotten the port side fully exposed yet. I've been beating on it and liberally dousing with PB Blaster & MMO. The stuffing box gland nuts simply don't move. I may have to cut them off if all else fails. The jack goes to the boatyard today along with a length of chain. Wish me luck.

The trim tabs came off fairly easily. The hinges are in surprisingly good shape, but MAN are the tabs rusty!
