grab handle in the bow is loose...

[yikesdave]

does anyone know how to tighten the grab handles that are in the bow? I noticed this last weekend that one of the handles was a little loose and I wanted to tighten it up before it becomes a bigger problem.

i dont know how to remove the upholstery/cushions to try to get to it. I pulled out the cup-holders but there is a lot of foam underneath them.

so much for an easy fix!

PLEASE HELP!

RE: grab handle in the bow is loose...

Depends on boat. I have an 03' SAN and one of my bow grab handles was loose. The only way to access the nuts on the backside, 7/16", is with an open end wrench. I have a racheting open end wrench, which I was able to just barely get my hand up behind the panel. It's really tight and you have to rely on whatever dexterity you can muster to get the wrench and your hand back there and still get the wrench on the nut. Then it's just a few quick turns and it's tight.
I too was thinking that there is no WAY I was going to be able to tighten the nut but, I managed.
