Tips

If the float block has been removed, it may be easier to remove the skid by replacing the float block on the ROV and turning the ROV upside down to rest flat on your workspace. Make sure there are no accessories attached to the float block.

Alternately, you can set the ROV on it's thruster nozzles to remove the front screws and on it's nose to remove the rear screws. Support the skid when removing the screws.
