    You can take it off from the boat than tighten it.

    Ok that's some what a relief. Big poses a new question. If the nylock nuts are not from the compartment lids where could they be coming from?

    If they are in the bilge they wouldn't be off of hinges those would be laying in the boxes.

    That is my question the center compartments the underside of the hinges are not accessible. From the compartment I am going to try tightening them again but pretty sure they are stripped out or the nuts fell off the underside of the hinges.

    Yeah that's where mine would end up also if I was doing work on something but they would not be extra until I dropped them and then went to the store to get more!

    Ok so not only is the lid coming loose the gas port is now coming off due to nuts and bolts. How do I access the gas port to get new nuts on there?

    Long skinny arms would be my guess question is what has to be moved out of the way to access them. What year and model is this boat?

    If you have a day off you can swing by charger it won’t take them no time to fix it.

    Believe there is a access inside the rear storage compartment.
