Yours is same location than ours (H54 #50 2007) but seems to be fitted in a different way, and a bit smaller maybe?.  But our wood surround is held in place with strong 3M velcro.  Once the wood surround is off the microwave (at least ours) is held in place with a series of wood parts tightly fitted around the base and sides of the microwave.  But if your wood facing is also held on with velcro, I would try giving it a "bigger pull", see what happens.   If you need to get a new MW you will probably need new wood facing anyway, so go for it!!

Also take a look in the adjacent cabinets either side as there may be screws holding on either the face plate of the microwave itself.

Good luck. report back!

The rubberized switches for my Antal electric winches have all perished and are in need of replacement (see attachment). I pulled the plate, but the stainless steel cover appears to be very firmly attached to the switch and plate. I suspect it was filled with 5200 or similar when installed. It is too tightly attached to get a razor blade in between. Any ideas?

Travel lift scales are not terribly accurate.  Our 49 weighed 38,000 on the travel lift without the mast, same on a truck scale with the mast. Published weight is 32,000. Water tanks were empty, fuel was about 75 gallons. 

I don

Of course!  Superlube!  I just bought a big tub of it for my telescope bearing upgrade. 
Yes, saw your post on FB.  Chain was inspected two years ago while replacing helm breaks, also a good thing to keep eyes on, they do wear though not as risky as fractured link.

It never ends does it?

P.S.  contrary to Edson standard recommendations to completely pull the cables (I had a conversation with them at the Newport Boat show in 2017 about this) the cables CAN be inspected without pulling them.  It takes two people, patients, a headset for communication and a bit of contortion but moving the helm slowly in each direction and observing as well as running a microfiber cloth along it at key points during the move will reveal any minor snags in the strands.  Key points being the full travel at any turns as well as the ends at both the quadrant and the pedestal.

On my boat there is only one location I could not get to the complete travel and that is where it passes under the aft water tank to the quadrant.  Being a straight run and never rotated or turned it is a very low risk section.  However it is not a difficult task disconnecting the quadrant end and pulling that through to do the inspection.

I am fairly confident Everywhere else the cable can be inspected through its full travel unless it is sections completely sheathed which are are all straight runs as well and well protected and, being properly greased, at very low risk. Any portion that does enter the sheaths can be inspected as it enters or exits as the helm is slowly turned.

We spent a couple hours on this task after the convention and actually fount the quadrant clamp had slipped at some past life so adjusted that but the cables were in very good condition.  Took the opportunity to grease all turn blocks and the quadrant as well.
