Hi Wade, I had the exact same problem on my 30 MK I hull #7 (built September 1972) when replacing her exterior handrails two offseasons ago. There’s a screw from the inside out, between the cabintop and the starboard bulkhead (or its trim) separating the settee from the hanging locker. I wasn’t going to tear apart all that trim to get at that screw. I removed the old exterior starboard handrail destructively from that screw, and clipped off the screw flush with the exterior cabintop. As a result the new replacement handrail is fastened with only one screw, instead of two, at that handrail base. The other screw head was under a metal cover button forward of the bulkhead above the shelf over the hanging locker.
I was so vexed by the problem initially that I actually called Gert Tiel who used to work at C&C NOTL from the mid-70s onward for advice.
