Bow Grab Handle- Port Side

All- I have a loose handle and can’t figure out how to access inside nut. No luck from ski locker. Then tried removing head wall panel and found 5 screws holding seat on and still stumped. I believe I need bow seat back removed to access nut. I have a 2007 252 w/pump out head. Any help would be awesome as I don’t want to use sledge.

Thank you

Have you tried reaching up under the bow seat storage?

Yea pictures will help us see if we can find that secret hiding spot. Can you remove a speaker or a cup holder?
I know I was trying to get at some nuts around my bow area. I removed 4 of them and the dam panel still wouldn't move. I know your feeling.

Few more photos. Guess if a person wanted reupholster the bow seat how the heck do you get it off. I have a feeling there is an access hole to reach handle bolt

Got it! Crawled into ski locker and wedged head, shoulders arms in front of porti potti with flash light and found bolt. Glad I have long arms. Thanks for tips!

Nice of your arms are that long you could have went from the anchor locker 😂😂⚓
What a beast!!
Or I would have added 2 more 6 inch speakers by your cup holders. Now you can get at them easy. Lol

Now that is a great idea. We need good young small mechanics with long arms sometimes

Thanks for the follow up. Just found the exact same bolt is loose on my 1998. Pretty sure I can access mine, but if not, I now have an idea how
