I just bought a 2014 Element 160EL and on the first trip I lost the rear seat cushion that goes over the battery. I contacted the closest dealer and he says a new one is $650, Ouch! Does this sound right?

I would go to your local upholstery shop that works on boats and see if they can make one to match. I'm sure it would be much cheaper.

I tried the contact option on the bayliner site with no replies. How did you contact them directly?

After bringing the Element home for the first time and noticing I had lost the cushion, I immensely contacted my dealer. HE contacted Bayliner and made the free replacement happened.
It was only last month that Bayliner contacted ME by mail. They volunteered the fact that there was a fix to prevent future cushions lost. Their notification asked that I contact my Bayliner dealer to arrange the free fix. Kudos to Bayliner for their excellent customer service with reference to this issue. So, do contact Bayliner and reference the Service Bulletin #17.01.

I got an email from Bayliner saying they will replace the cushion and fix the other seats under the service bulletin!
Enjoy your Element. It's a great boat.
