Dave, There was a pretty good discussion on this subject back in November and another lister (sorry, can’t remember who it was) posted his impressive work on repairing and replacing his fixed ports. I posted <http://roninrebuild.blogspot.com/2015/11/tools-for-removing-stuff.html> something as regards tools that I used for removing the Plexus and prepping the ports for new panes. Keep in mind that I’m repainted the entire deck surfaces when the weather warms so I don’t have your requirement to be careful with the surrounding gelcoat…
Anyway, I would think that if you don’t remove the old Plexus you will not achieve a flush fit with the new panes.
