    If it is like mine you have to remove the seats. Behind the seats is a panel

    Re: Gas tank (TightLip)

    I have the same boat---and need to change out my fuel line and hoses---I am pretty sure the deck from just behind the seat to the back lids is a removable deck and is held in place by screws-- just don't know the pattern-----I'd say there is probably 10- 12 and they go in the lip that is just behind the seats--may or may not have to remove the seats depending on spacing---sure would like to see a pattern--but I am pretty sure thats how it's done.

    update talked to C&O---there may be 2 covers including the one behind the seats---? appearently screws are random with no set pattern SS so magnets may not help at all--sounds like fun. Love my boat but this may not be fun.

    As far as removing the seats, mine had screws hidden/buried in various places in the seams of the seats both in the back of the seats and the bottoms in no particular position. The cover on the back deck had 8 metal screws holding it on that were pretty easy to find by just rubbing around on the carpet. Once the seats were out, the metal seat pan had 4 screws running along the bottom screwed into the floor and then 4 along each side screwed into the fiberglass.
