Engine Hatch Removal

[Frank Marshall]

To replace the delaminating sound foam on the underside of the engine hatch I need to remove the hatch.
Found some easy access to the hinge nuts I thought I would pass on. Removing the back cushions, I found access holes to the hinge nuts.




Also found 2x4's or 2x6's were the perfect thickness to hold the hatch in place while removing the screws.

Thanks for the info. I was considering the same. My hatch is also not very well centered. Was thinking of filling and drilling new holes.

Yeh, it surprises me that Yamaha doesn't use alignment blocks for their installs. I've had to re-align some of my hatches.

@Foobar My 210 was delivered with the delaminating sound proofing. Question, did your noise levels improve once you fixed it? Did you replace with same material? Thanks

I re-glued the foam on the underside of the hatch. I added extra foam in the engine compartment. Yes, it made a big difference.
