Really!? Wow like I said I had heavy duty suction cups on and couldn’t pull them off. These are the kind you carry granite slabs with. I guess I need a different angle of leverage. I’ll try to pry carefully!

Yea I don't think I would use suction pullers as you might rip off the laminate doing that. I have never had to take mine off, but seen pictures on this thread of them removed. What is your reason to remove them?

Thanks good tip! I want to tap a power line off the power outlet behind the salon TV and I was hoping getting access behind those panels would give me a visible route to run the wire up in to the area below the helm dash. I want to install an outlet behind the hatch inside the small area that the cockpit HVAC control is located. This seemed easier than trying to tap off the outlet under the sink in the outdoor cabinet.

Anytime. I added an outlet in the "bar" area behind the helm seats by tapping off the outlet located on the bulkhead above the batteries in the bilge.

Buffing, waxing, and bottom painting complete. Now, just waiting for the day to splash into the water!

I considered that too. Did you have to drill a hole to run the wire up or were you able to find a way to chase it up in to the “Bar”?

if I remember correctly I ran it all the way over to starboard side and found a wire run, and came up through there. Quite a bit of room once I removed the seat back and exposed the A/C unit.

Okay thanks I’ll take a look. This is very helpful appreciate your input!

Has anyone had experience removing the washer/dryer from a 2006 48 DA? Not my boat but my marina is asking.

You are correct, I to tapped that outlet and ran across and then up above the gas tank. Then you can run it forward to that cabinet through a cable channel that is there. Little tricky and requires a fish tape to do this. I have all my starlink and wifi stuff in that cabinet and I put an outlet in there.

Excellent thats what I'm going to do then because I tried to pry my panels above the TV off today using plastic pry bars and cloths to protect the molding below and they will not come off. I'm not going to mess with them anymore. Thanks very much all!

I can assure you that's how those panels come off. I posted pics on this thread a few years back. I used a flat metal pry bar, and protected the trim below as you mentioned. I needed to this when I mounted the flat screen TV up there to make sure i screwed into the studs behind there.

I totally believe you it's just mine are being very stubborn!

I've noticed a slight amount of play in the propeller of my Vetus 95 bow thruster when turning it, and I've observed a pin behind it that is supposed to lock it in place. I'm wondering if this is a common occurrence or if anyone else has encountered the same issue. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
