If you're going to be removing the whole thing in any case, you might as well try straightening it out. A single effort to straighten it is not likely to reduce the strength of the stainless appreciably. A controlled come-along approach, provided you can firmly mount the pulpit off the boat would probably work. Another approach would be to use a hydraulic floor jack and a large plate to spread out the force.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
