Never had this issue before. Took the boat out today...cabin door opened and closed without an issue. Did some ocean running and now when we close the door...or try to close the door it only goes 1/2 closed and then stops. Not sure what it’s hitting. Anyone ever have this issue? What’s the easiest way to figure out what it is...don’t feel like taking the whole dash apart. Thanks.

tried looking...had a bunch of people on board so that effort was futile. Will look again this week.

doesnt feel like a wheel or track issue. feels like it’s physically hitting something. When I did peak there are two pads sticking out from the gunnel wall that act as supports. Wondering if one shifted and is now hitting.

Think I confused everyone including myself...the issue is in the opening direction. Not closing. My bad. When I try to open it goes 3/4 open. I can squeeze into the cabin but not by much. So the door is coming close to those stops. The screw suggestion is a good one. How much of a PIA is it to take the dash out to fix?! lol
