Due to high water I need to remove my windshield to get my boat out of my boat house, any suggestions or tips? Thanks,
Steve
 
It's about as straight forward of a job as they come - just be extra careful to avoid breaking the glass, obviously.
How close are you? Could you add a lot of weight to the boat to get it out? Either a bunch of people sitting forward to weight it down... or flood the bilge with water?
 
I would load it up with weight either people or 'ballast'. Of course whether that works depends on how much clearance you have to make. A couple of inches is doable I would think
 
Not a fan of taking it off unless you absolutely have to.
 
Thanks if I can get the boat out with the windshield in tact it will stay out as the water is going to rise for the next few months. Going to give it another shot Friday.
 
Mod the boat house so you don't have to worry about this every spring.
 
That sux if it is every year. Time to raise the roof on that puppy.
