Richard, yes, they're not nautical blocks but cubicle blocks!  This all began
looking for source of bilge water. I do plan to remove the CB cap because of
the rusted bolts.  Photos attached. Also there are supposed to be fender
washers above and below according to Stan. As you can see, there are no
washers.  I've removed all of the bolts but have not lifted the cap yet.
