I appreciate the response. Next issue once the boat is out of winter storage is to repair the back, after vertical back rest. I think I finally got definitive info as to how it comes off the boat. All it really needs is some stitching on the vinyl and maybe a backer on the inside. Got a...

Maybe I am too late, but here is what I did for my interior cushions. Couple things. Got some corrosion resistant staples. Did some rearrangement of the cushions to make them more easily removed. I used some lauan plywood which is supposedly water resistant with some boat rug material I got...

Thanks, seems like they ought not to be corroded into a metal bracket. Should be able to get to the boat out of winter storage in a few weeks so that's my first project. Would have been a good winter project to figure out the cushion cover but I am glad for the help I got here. I have gotten...

Quote I got was $510...... not sure what the $10 is for. And for both, $1020. No thanks. I have reupholstered car seats, made my own templates and so forth. So this will be a DIY once I get the cushion off the boat

That makes a lot of sense. Am I correct in understanding that there are a couple of Phillips head screws going up vertically into the brackets from the bottom of the cushion? After 12 years will they come out? I know that's a loaded question but I guess I am looking for another experience. A...

I think I remember feeling up under the back where the cushions are mounted and did not feel any screws/bolts that would mount a bracket but it seems like there has to be one. I will have to try the thin blade approach once I get to my boat. That makes sense. So it seems likely there are...

I think I may have asked before but I never got a confirmation to this question. The seat back on my boat has some of the stitching coming apart. The vinyl seems to be in pretty good condition and the cushion should be repairable if I can get the cushion off the mount. I asked the folks where...

We do mostly bottom fishing in water less than 69-80 feet depth. My Garmin unit does a great job but am still at a loss to figure out how to best get the benefits from the available side scan. Anybody got a good reference/video that might get me in the right direction to get the most from the...

I spoke with a very helpful rep at Grady White. She was not familiar with this particular model so we couldn't get to a specific solution. I asked the maint folks at the marina where I am docked to see what they can tell me. Waiting to hear. There are some grommets on the bottom that allow...

Got put over the weekend and I took a look at the cushions. It seems to me there might be some spring clips that got through holes behind the cushions? There are no snaps and my guess is that the cushions might sort of hook over the top then get pushed back and fastened when the spring clips...

Duh, I never turned on the notification tab, but now that I am looking is there one? Anyway, Here is the pic of my back rests. I just looked at the posts this morning so I did not have the info to take a closer look at the suggested attachments last couple trips. Here on Cape Cod we have had...

The back rests on my 2013 Seafarer need some love. I am thinking its a good winter project. My question is how do these come off the boat? Next trip I will get a photo but the cushions in wuestion are the vertcal back rests either side of the motor well.

For what sounds like a small scrape or gouge, you could fill with some white tinted epoxy and then finish as I noted

I am a fairly skilled amateur furniture and auto paint refinisher. Strictly amatuer so take my ideas with a grain of salt. But anyway, couple ideas. I have very successfully used plastic scratch remover on all sorts of scuffs. One brand name is PlastiX, or something similar. You can use it...
