    18 TRX OWNERS - Removal of seats with adjustable slide

    Hi Guys, i have a 2019 18 TRX , i came with adjustable seat slides, i need to remove 1 seat to position it in the right place to allow my centre storage box to open up. Does anyone have experience with removing these seats please. Cheers Wayne

    Remove the centre storage tray and put you hand up under the fibreglass where the seat is bolted, get a wrench in to under the bolts

    I would take it back to the dealer and let them fix it. You have the wrong seats. It's a warranty issue.

    Got to the bolts today and removed seat and re drilled holes to move the seat to the right position, some people mentioned there seats rattled a bit, well what i found could have something to do with the rattling, holes drilled in boat for seat bolts were twice the size needed and all the nuts were loose, also 2 nuts and washers were missing on drivers seat and one missing on passenger side, Triton's fitout is very ordinary to say the least, this has just added to the big list of dodgy crap that i have had to rectify on my new 2019 18 TRX. Mine was a Friday boat for sure!

    Man I hate to hear that since I just bought a 2019 18TRX. Hopeful an isolated case, good luck going forward. If you don’t mind, I started another thread a little bit ago regarding set ups for this boat, could you reply to that thread with your set up? Thank you

    What pitch Bravo 1 FS have they been running on the 18 TRX? I'm running a 24 pitch Fury 3, my top end is horrible and I'm only turning 5600-5800 rpm.
