2010 210 starboard bow seat back removal

[hyperlitep]

Trying to install my piggy back bow bag and I need to remove the hose off vent through hull. I removed the panel under the dash to allow me to see 4 screws it looks like that hold the seat back on but it looks as if they are in the middle of the seat? I see no access to get to them. Any ideas?

Are you sure they're not Christmas Trees?

[hyperlitep]

Yes I’m sure. It looked like 4 fairly decent sized stainless screws

Those seat backs are held in with Christmas trees as Jeff said .. however the HDPE of the seat backs have slots cut into them, that stainless steel hooks / clips that are attached to the fibre glass behind the seat backs slides over... see attached

[hyperlitep]

Spud there is no attachment. So does the seat slide up and out?

[hyperlitep]

Nada nothing

[H2O]

Cushion slides up to remove.

[swatguy]

Pull all the seat corners away from the fiberglass ( Christmas tree studs, Ie plastic pressure pins) are holding edges in place. Then slide the seat back up.

The metal studs you see bolt the metal brace that stays in place when you slide the seat up. You’ll then have an access hole to the hoses.

hope fully that makes sense.

Awesome thanks guy! I got it off!

Well done... simple once you know how!

I need to access the belly vent hose in order to plumb in my under bow sac in my 2012 230. Are there some Christmas tree plugs and then it slides up off the hooks?

[s_kelley2000]

I just went and looked at it and for a 230 there is a Christmas tree plug high and low on the side right near the walkthrough. Once you get those to pop off you can work your way around to lift it up off about 4 hooks and that gives you access to the hole for the bilge and ballast outlet hoses. I assume there are 1 or 2 more more Christmas tree plugs on the forward end of the cushion but I was able to get good access without touching those. I'll grab a pic before I button things back up tomorrow.
