2001 21i Bow Seat Back Cushions

[sparsons]

Does anyone know how to tighten the bow seat back cushions? The very front seat back cushion of the open bow has come loose. This is the cushion that sits in the "V" of the nose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!

Do you have a picture of the cushion? It would help to see the style of cushion.

Here's a picture of the seat cushion that is loose. Any ideas to tighten the bolt thru the hull?

Some are screwed into the fiberglass and the screw heads are accessable between the cushion and the welting. Others like mine have threaded bolts that screw into T-nuts on the cushion backing. You should be able to reach those by removing the seat bottom and reaching up. Should be a 7/16 ths wrench or socket. Should be plenty of room for your hand and arm up there. Keep us posted.

It does have a threaded bolt from the cushion backing through the fiberglass. I tried removing the seat cushion to reach up, and it is too tight for anyone to reach their hand upwards to the nut. I then removed the starboard nav light and I can see the threaded bolt, but it is very very difficult to reach. I was hoping other owners have run into this issue and how it was tightened!!
