I have to respectfully disagree with everyone. On Persuasion there are three
tubes. One at the chart table, one at the sink and one at the saloon table for
the centre board pendant. The latter is not structural. The first two go
through the cabin roof with a plate welded to the top and two 1/4” bolts
(studs) welded to this plate that pass through the cabin roof. The other end
is bolted to the respective plywood with two 1/4” bolts with backing plates. A
little overkill for something decorative.

The similar tube in the 37/40 just ends under the sink and is really just a
handhold.

I always thought the tubes were structural. You know hold the cabin roof up?

You'll have the usual finish work to consider when you get the shelf removed.
What will yo do with the metal tube? If you remove the tube you will be left
with a hole in the ceiling and a hole in the counter. If you leave the tube
you will have exposed holes in the tube where screws were used to anchor the
shelf. These holes in the tube will need dressed or decorated. What about the
wood on the remaining cabinets? It is likely that a silhouette of the removed
shelf will remain. You'll also have screw holes in the wood which will need
attention. None of these asthetic details are show stoppers just things you
may not have considered. Good luck.

I am considering removing the kitchen shelf next to the sink in my C&C 34+.
It is the one with the metal post running through one end and attached to the
cabinetry at the other. My thinking is as follows:
1. It completely obscures the counter underneath and makes it more or less
impossible to use the plate tray behind that counter under the shelf.
2. It is sometimes useful to put things on with the ability to slide a
chopping board (and only a chopping board) underneath it.
3. I notice that later models of this design eg. 1991, do not have the
shelf. I suspect there is a good reason for this.
Has anyone removed this shelf on their boat?
If so how do you do it?
Did you regret it afterwards or did it turn out to be a good thing?
Any input much appreciated.
