    Help removing bow cooler

    Ok, I have read all the posts about removing the bow cooler on the 210's that had them. I have an 02' and can't get the darn thing out. I tried using a dremel with a tile cutting bit but that was hopeless. I also tried a cut off wheel like you would use to cut metal with and this is better. I just can't get in the corners or up high. It sounds like the people who have done this said that the fiberglass was thin around the edge where it attaches to the deck. I must have a "special edition" because mine is quite thick. Any advice? Dynamite?

    RE: Help removing bow cooler

    ok, I also need to relocate my second battery to the back. My primary battery is under the rear seat on the port side. It is sunk into the floor and I would like to make the hole bigger and put both batteries there. What's the best way to do this? Jig-saw maybe?

        bow cooler

        When working in the floor, just be sure you are aware of the angle of the bottom of the boat. Though you would not be the first person to run a bit or screw through the "shallow" side of the floor. ER

          I'll watch out for the hull. That wouldn't be fun. I got the bottom 2/3 of the cooler out by drilling holes where I couldn't get the grinder. 20 Holes later it finally came out. Now I just need to get the top part out. Should be easier now. Once this is all done I'll tackle relocating the battery and rewiring the rat's nest that's been driving me crazy since day one....
