220 loose tower

[Whosandrew]

I know there have been a bunch of posts about this topic but I can not find anything about how to access the feet to tighten the base of my tower. I recent purchased a 2007 SANTE 220 and the port side of the tower is pretty loose and rocking quite a bit. I can access the front foot from under the observers seat (there was no access point behind the bow seat back).
I have also taken off enough of the seat back closest to the rear tower foot to notice that there is no access hole to tighten that up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have also noticed a few screws into the hull in several spot have been stripped and just spin without tightening (bread box and a couple of the reclining seats), what is the best way to fix this? Larger diameter screw?

Oh yeah, I have the FCT3, from what I can tell.

Ok, I do not have a 220 but I did happen to find a picture of a 220 with the interior stripped and it looks like the access may be right behind the breadbox area? Looks like there is a hole, anyways hopefully this picture will give you some insight.

Thanks again for the help. Unfortunately that is just another void with a net for storage. No access there either. Looks like I may have to take this in to the dealer and have them deal with it.

I would try and get access through the speaker hole or up through the seat bottom with a extension and a camera. There has to be a way to tighten the base after deck is installed.

If nothing else, pull that cushion and cut yourself an access hole. The cushion will cover it once replaced.

ScooterMcgavin Looks like your initial reply was spot on. Took the little cubby out after seeing it was more than just trim, and there it was. Just need a large enough socket to tighten the rear foot down.
Anyone have any recommendations how to tighten the front front foot? The tower speaker wires are running through the bolt so a socket is out of the question and space is tight.
