2018 AR 240 Bow Cleat

[bperkins025]

The port cleat on the bow of my 2018 AR240 came off. It is wet slipped so I didn't lose the cleat in the water thanks to the dock line, but it is completely off. I'm assuming that the black plastic insert where the speaker and cup holder are mounted comes off for access to the back side of the cleat, but I cannot figure out how to take it off. Does anyone here have experience with this?

Please clarify. You say the cleat is completely off. Are you asking about how to take that off, or how to remove the speaker, or are you thinking you will remove the entire plastic trim in that area, or... ?

If it's the speakers, there should be screws holding the grill in place, which would then give you further access to remove them to reach the backside of the cleat area. That's usually how they're accessed, often with difficulty
