Bow Rail Loose

[MontereyJake]

2008 SX 230.
Starboard bow rail is loose on forward end. It moves maybe 1/4" side to side. Icebox is under seat on that side. Does anyone know how that is attached (screw or nut) ? How do I gain access to the inside to tighten it?

I have the same issue on my ‘07 and keep putting it off. I assumed I would need to access from under the small bow seat. I am not sure my arms are long enough though

I just tightened mine on a newer 242. It was nuts on the inside. 14mm I think. Don't know if it's the same on yours though.

See if you can access it from under the front cushion

Check the nut size on the other side and get a long extension

I got to mine by crawling under the helm and using a long extension. Wasn't easy but it worked.

Might be easiest to just pull a speaker and go through a speaker hole.

Pull the speaker and the nut will be within reach.

Wear long sleeve to keep the fiberglass off your arm, not like I did when I was in there.

I went through the horn. Just unscrew it and pull it out. Forward end of starboard bow rail is right there.
