Removing back seat in 2007 Ski Nautique

[jdarwin]

Just purchased a 2007 SN. Can someone enlighten me on how to remove the back seat base (over the fuel tank)? Seems the cup holder mounts play a role. Thanks.

Look down next to each cup holder, and you'll see a rubber strap that secures the seat in place. Just release the straps, pull the seat towards you a little, and it's out.

rear seat removal

Mike - thanks. What I meant was the carpeted base underneath the vinyl back seat. It is the carpeted box that sits on top of the fuel tank. In my last Nautique, there were two pins you pulled and the complete base removed exposing the fuel tank and the adjacent fuel filter. The cup holder structures seem to prevent the base from coming forward so there must be a way of lifting it out somehow.

Oops!! Sorry J!! My bad!! Didn't read it carefully enough. You're right as to the pins that used to be there, had them on several previous SN, I'll look asap and get back to you bro!
