Anyone here has the 05 Dufour 34? i'm trying to remove the spotlight, the black one. But it looks like i will damage the yacht if I remove it. anyone here knows how I can remove it safely? any tips would be greatly appreciated!
 
If I'm not mistaken, those spotlights are often installed with a through-bolt and a backing plate, or sometimes even a strong adhesive like 3M 5200.
Before you try to pry it off, check inside the cabin or in the anchor locker for any visible fasteners.
If it's adhered, you might need to carefully use a heat gun on a low setting to soften the adhesive.
Take your time and go slowly so you can be cautious and not damage the gelcoat!
 
Try to find a diagram or manual for your specific model of Dufour 34 if you can. That would show you exactly how it's mounted. and YouTube videos can help too!
