Mine, which of course is older and a different model so it may be totally different, has 2 bolts through the back of the rest through the fiberglass. They used wing nuts on the back. You can just pull the bottom of the seat off and reach up behind it and unscrew the wing nuts. Then off comes the seat back. Oh and watch out for the washers, don't want them dropping into the bilge.

The easiest way is to remove the livewell ( 5min ) and go in thru there. They have about 10 ot the LONGEST bolts on pad, at least on mine. I took mine off to reupholster 2 years ago.
