R series behind dash access

Post by greenhut »

Wondering what the best way to access the space in the R series between the amp mounting area under the swing up bow seat and the dashboard.

Guessing removal of screws in that amp panel?

Hopefully your not waiting for me to answer that one. Lol
But you could get a big hole saw out 😂😂
Or maybe one of your dash switches release a hidden panel behind there?
Do any of them say helm access?

for my R3 I had to lay in the ski locker and remove a side panel there and reach up to the connections.

I had a tough time getting the boards back to there original fit once I removed them from my R5. They are back but not factory back.

See that's why we get along! We think alike! 😂😂
Just dive in and document what you find out. Just keep removing screws till the Panel comes off 👍
