Happy Holidays. I have a need to get to my rudder (tiller arm) to adjust my steering cable. How do I remove the floor to get there? I'd appreciate any advice/experience? THANK YOU

ryan, on my 97 sport you have to remove the engine cover just 2 pins. then remove the rear seat again just 2 pins then lift out the center of the floor exposing the middle of the boat. Very easy to do. Also good time to check your engine alignment.

If its a DD it will be like my 2000. You have to take the whole back end out. Start with the drivers side bolster( bpadded side rail. It is held to the fiberglass with 7-8 nuts about 7/16" Remove this so you can get the back deck out. Then remove the engine cover, middle floor board, and rear seating. Then remove the 2 plastic covers bolted to the rear deck section. 1 covers the fuel filler hose and 1 the vent tubing. After removing those the back floor will come out. There are 2 stainless straps holding the gas tank down the nuts are 1/2" I think. Remove those and all the hoses. Make sure you mark the pickup and return hose so you donn't mix them up/. The emptier the tank the easier it is to remove. After removing the tank you have open access to the rudder and cable. While your there I would recommend repacking the rudder gland with 1/4" Teflon flax. Also check the muffler for leaks and tighten all the exhaust hoses. It took me about 3.5 hours to do all of the above.
