View attachment 133114 Ok, I have one more question to ask the forum......I have a small tear along a seam in the cockpit back cushion (up around shoulder height) when sitting. I've taken out the seat cushion zillions of times, but never taken off the long seat back cushion. Can someone tell me how it comes off?
Hello Nick- my top step is loose and I thought it was secured with screws. Did you take your step off and can you give me any advice on how to tighten the step? It seems like I might be able to fit short shims (less than 1” long) in the front of the step but not sure if that is the best solutionMy middle step into the salon is cracked. It’s been getting worse as time goes on as people are constantly stepping on it. I have a feeling this is a common design flaw because I noticed one of the previous 44s had the same issue while I was boat shopping. Has anyone else encountered this and what are your suggestions to fixing it? My idea is to screw in a bolt on each side….
I am 90% sure there are a combination of thru bolts into the transom locker and Christmas tree fasteners. Look in the locker and if you do not see any small nuts/bolt ends, they may be all Christmas tree fasterners. There are also a couple of tabs on the bottom side that are screwed in.

Remove all the cushions….. then look under the back rest and you will see a number of screws to remove …… then lift the back rest straight up as there are bolts….. which are doubling as pins (no nuts) thru the transom to hold it in placeView attachment 133114 Ok, I have one more question to ask the forum......I have a small tear along a seam in the cockpit back cushion (up around shoulder height) when sitting.

There are covers in each corner hiding a screw. Either do this on your back holding one side with your feet or get another set of hands to help.Anybody know how to access the spring loaded coil that the skylight shade in the salon retracts in to?
I have to pull and retract it a dozen time to get it fully retract.

Maybe it's the same process, but I think he's asking about the salon skylight shade??There are covers in each corner hiding a screw. Either do this on your back holding one side with your feet or get another set of hands to help.

My bad, didn't look closely at the picture and forgot about that shade. Definitely need extra hands for that one.Maybe it's the same process, but I think he's asking about the salon skylight shade??
my first guess is the charcoal filter to the vent is the problem....recharge or replace that firstI have a 2004 420 Sundancer. I have noticed that when I am standing next to the sink in the cockpit and someone flushes the toilet in the master head I can smell odor. I looked at the pump and don't see any signs of leaking. Is it possible that the o-rings or the bellows in the pump are worn out and should I rebuild the pump? Is it possible the odor is coming from the pump or am I looking at replacing the sanitation hose?
If you are holding vacuum pressure then I wouldnt suspect anything wrong with the pumps. You could go into the bildge and flush the toilet to double check ......or stand near the vent as well.I replaced that in June. The duckbills were replaced last season. I started using Noflex this season.
