All been looking for seat removal instructions for my Z520L. I finally asked Ranger and they sent them to me and I thought I would share. Cheers
Good info maybe Jc2bg will pin this at the top!!!
Done. We already had a similar thread pinned, but the OP of that thread must have removed his files. Hopefully this one will have more staying power.

Thank you sir, on top of things as usual!!!
These instructions are for boats that are slightly newer than mine. I’ve read they used a different slide design prior to this one. It changed to this one within a month or so after mine was built. I Emailed Ranger and they responded with “call your dealer”. Does anyone have experience removing their 2018 model seats from the skull cap?
9/22/24 UPDATE.... On my 2018 520L, made in 10/17, the skull cap is removed and the seat slides are held in with (6) 1/2" lock nuts only accessible from the bottom of the skull cap. Once the cap is loose, you can lift it up onto the rear deck and tilt it rearward to have access to those nuts. It's a heavy unit. Two person job if you have a helper available.

Can you access wiring if you do this seat removal?
In my case, yes.

Thank you. I will try this. Need to run new transducer wire and can't get anywhere pulling on old wire.
Removing the seat will definitely help then. I just did the exact same thing. What boat do you have?
