Remove "rub" strips on FC470
Hi All
Continuing to fix the old FC470 after the starboard speed tube delaminated.
Any recommendation on removing the rub strip on the bottom of the tube?
Thanks

I have taken apart speed tube bits with a heat gun and patience. Wear grippe gloves to deal with the heat. Good luck mate.
Cheers
