Hi Everyone,
Just joined and have just purchased a 1997 2542 that is in pretty good shape but needs a little restoration, mostly cosmetic. The first thing I want to do is repair some of the broken hand rail fittings which for the most part is no big deal but I'm having a problem trying to figure out how to get to the nut on the back of a screw for the grab rail bases going from the helm out to forward. I cannot find a way to get under the bracket. Is there an access behind the upholstered side panels in the helm and if so how do you remove the panels? Any help would be appreciated and I'm looking forward to having fun on this new old boat.
