Hey All,

Anyone know how to get off the padded wallboards etc in the forward berth?

Thanks,

Jay

Depends on the boat.

some have pressure pops and others have rear bolts that are hidden in bulkhead compartments with a T nut in the backer board.. some have thru bolts and you remove a nut... also some are hanging on a french cleat style hanger..

more details or a picture and an answer will be more readily available

It helps a lot if you put your boat details in your signature line (see mine for example). And pics always help :lol:

If you look on the top shelves mounted on each side of the vee, there will be screws going down vertically through the horizontal shelf surface that engage in a piece of wood under the shelf. I think there are only a few; up front and towards the rear. Removing these screws lets you take the whole assembly off of the "wall". From there, the boards that the upholstery is mounted to are basically one piece with the shelf. I imagine they're glued & nailed or screwed to the shelf.
Let me know if you can't figure it out; I can take some pictures.
