It could also be studs in T nuts in the back of the cushion.
I very much agree. Cutting a 3 inch access hole behind the cushion won't do anything.
Ouch, luckily I've never been claustrophobic.
Sometimes being a short guy helps, og course then I have a hard time reaching stuff once I get squirrled into a tight spot.
Haven't gotten stuck yet though!
I run into stuff like that all the time. Boats aren't made with repairs in mind. All of that hardware was installed while the cap was lifted up and easy to get to.
You might just have to have a second person hold the screw whilr you cram yourself in there to get to the nuts.
Does it include repainting?
Also, another member recently had some trouble with this same situation. Give this thread a look, and ask your welder how he will avoid this. https://www.iboats.com/threads/aluminum-transom-has-had-heat-distortion.781312/

Next are a couple of semi fenders and rear bumper (?).
Just sand and paint, fixing some minor stuff. These are right out of the molds.
It can bend a bit, but isn't as flexible as carpet. I wouldn't try to wrap a lid with it. I would expect it to start peeling away from those corners pretty quick.
I was hoping it would be a removable panel, but in that picture it looks like solid floor.
What about just cutting it out and putting another deck plate there?
They're tight because the threads are usually not straight, they're spread open just a bit. I run into that with old and new.
It'll just get scraped off as you push the bolt in and make a bigger mess.
What's a good cleaner for fresh 5200? Acetone? I use wax and grease remover when cleaning up...
