2001 252 Bow Handrail Loose

SD252 · Post by **SD252** » Mon Oct 05, 2020 4:50 pm

Hi All,

Our Bow Handrails are slightly loose on our 252. I can get to the front two bolts through the anchor compartment, and the back two bolts through the speaker cavity, but i can't figure out away to get to the center bolts.

any thoughts?

I think they're was a thread on this on the same boat but to long ago.. Sorry but it won't be easy no matter what.

Hey SD252. Welcome to the Cobaltchat forum. So glad you found us!

Those are tough bolts to reach. You basically need a little person with Michael Phelps arms.

Maybe a pic or two will help.

Again welcome aboard mate!

Can you reach up from inside the ski locker?

There is an access point in the ski locker, but it is not close enough to reach around the cupholder enclosure.

Come up through the cup holders. They pop right out. Your skinny arms coupled with a long ratchet box wrench ought to do the trick.
Then put a bead of silicone or double sided tape on the cup holder to re-secure.

Am I the only one thinking go go gadget arms? Those are obviously installed before the halves are joined together.

Does anyone know how the cushion below the handrail is secured? It is continuous around the open bow...

That's worse then the handrail

You're prob going to have to remove the back panels inside the head if you can't reach it through the cup holders. OR install more speakers up front like I did. You can then use those holes.

New Speakers? That is genius! Problem solved, thanks for the innovative solution.
