Upholstry in 1990 Maxum 2555 ML

[LoveCruiseing]

I just purchased a 1990 Maxum 2555 ML. The boat overall was in excellant shape, taken well care of. The V-berth still has original material and carpet and looks new. However, the same can't be said about the upholstry above deck. The model I have has the curved passenger seat beside the captain's chair. My question is, how do you remove the bolts for the seat-back that are bolted through the hull into the below aft queen bed? I don't want to break or damage anything trying to figure it out. Was planning and removing and taking to the upholstry shop to have redone. Don't want them to damage anything taking them out. Can anyone answer this for me. Certainly would appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I have 1990 2700 SCR with the curved seat. Mine have been redone and are in good shape, but I have two issues. The seat back is coming loose from passengers stepping on it to walk through the windshield to the bow. Secondly, the curved seat leaks into the aft berth when wet. I think it just needs a dab of silicone in a screw hole, but I do not know how to get the seat off.

Therefore I am very interested in how to get both the seat back and seat off.

ShoreAcres, I hope someone can help us with the seat backs. As for the seat bottoms and your leaks, I found on mine that the original seats were bolted to the fiberglass part of the bottom seat. A previous owner had cut the bolts even with the fiberglass and used velcro on the seat bottom and on the fiberglass to make removal easy. How to unbolt them or to put silicon on them, I don't know. Maybe someone has the answer for us both! Thanks for your response.

if there are folds in the material..you should see some screws between the folds...otherwise you should get access thru the bottom or in the midberth....

I looked at mine again. If you fold down the top of the rat fur in the mid berth you can find the screws for the seat back about two inches form the top. I am gong to re-fasten and silicone mine next year.
