When you put the Binnacle back its easy to drop the Top Screws so without a Magnetic Screwdriver I made up a Screw Holder from a piece of Plastic Tube

The Second Tang from the bottom was more corroded than it looks in the Photo as does the Second from top.

This is where you have to be so Careful, if you damage that Printed Circuit, its 'Game Over!' Though in order to pull the Binnacle out, you also have to remove Two Multi Plugs Which are also plugged in to the Printed Circuit where there is just about enough room to be able to get your hands in without too much of a problem

3 Other Screws hold the side trim in place which can be a bit of a fiddle to get out, so be very careful you don't break it.

Only 5 Screws hold it in but these two are hidden behind two plastic covers which can be popped out easily with the end of a table knife

Even with the Cover removed where you can see those two big Springs, it never once occurred to me to pull that lever in the other direction!
