THANK YOU so much for the info. I will take out the rear seat tomorrow as it sits on top of the main floor.

I pulled the 4 access covers that were visible in the main cockpit, and all they provided was an access area for the seat bolts. I hope there is an access area UNDER the back seat area when I pull it. I would love to fix this in the A.M. and be on the water as it is going to be 75 degrees tomorrow here.

As it stands, I will post more findings tommorrow. If there are no postings, refer to my previous post.
