gibraltar pool deck

I have an above ground 18x20 rectangular gibraltar pool with a cracked vinyl clad plywood deck that goes around the pool. i want to remove the plywood pieces and replace them with trexs or other decking. Can the peices be removed with out draining the pool? or can I paint the deck with marine deck paint and glue down the boards over the exiswting deck HELP because gibraltar and Wilkes ( who makes the deck) will not give me nay information they want me to pay them 6000 for a new deck.

I can't help you with your question, but I can suggest that you post photos that show the details of what you are talking about. Doing so might enable someone to help you without having detailed and specific prior knowledge of your particular pool brand.
