I am in the process of resealing my transom and cleaning everything up on my 95 181.So far everything has been sealed very well bolt holes and through the hull fittings. But I can't seem to get the top cap off I don't want to get carried away and bend it all up.But I have tried prying I have taken a razor knife and run it along the edges I can't even get one end or the other to even start to come are they normally this hard to remove?
