Engine locker removal

[Jojobaido]

I'm replacing the locker compartment vinyl on my 04 SANTE w C&S skins. I was able to remove the screws from both the P & S lockers, leaving the hinge attached to the boat. Is the engine locker attached via nut and bolt or screws like the other two lockers? All (I believe five) heads turn but don't back out. I didn't troubleshoot much, boat is stored and I didn't have many tools with me.

When I did mine years ago I unbolted the hinges from the boat. This left the hinges on the locker lid. I just taped them down so they wouldn't get caught on stuff.

Thanks Charles, I couldn't get it with more tools and since I'm replacing I expanded a damaged area of vinyl to find a nut and bolt assembly. I prefer to not touch anything installed into my fiberglass but today is the day.

Yea, that's it. They're nylock nuts. You'll need something to hold them until they're pretty loose.
