Remove shelf in aft cabin

Catalina 36 #572
In order to get to the exhaust riser which I think is leaking, I need to remove the shelf in the aft cabin.
There must be a trick to this because I can't even figure out where the screws are on the port side.  The 3 just inside the door frame on the starboard side are easy enough but the port side screw(s) are invisible. 
Will someone please enlighten me.   Where and how many ?

Philip,
The shelf in the aft cabin is held in place with several screws from the INSIDE of the shelf.  I've attached a picture showing the cleats on the port bulkhead to which the shelf is attached. The screws are hard to reach, but not impossible. I was able to get them from underneath, reaching up near the aqualift muffler. From memory, there are also several screws on the starboard side from the inside. FWIW, when I re-installed the shelf, I used screws from the outside rather than the inside. You can hardly see them, and it is MUCH easier to take the shelf off a second time. Hope this helps.

Just got back from Tommy T go find your response. I found the offending single screw and thereby experienced a  EUREKA moment. See photo. Turned out to be not as expensive as I was prepared for.
