Access to swim platform bolts 3807
Looking to reseat my swim platform bolts that are showing rust trails / water intrusion on the bulkhead. I was able to hinge the aft cabin bed down the middle, this should make it easier to perform routine cleaning and inspection. I’ve been able to remove the swim platform bolts & backing stainless on the portside but can’t figure out how I would remove the ones on the starboard without cutting an access panel thru the back of the dresser. Any thoughts?
Thanks Dave

- Vessel Info: New owner of 1984 Riviera 2807, purchased October 2021. Pre-purchase survey found the boat to be very solid structurally and mechanically. The electronics were expensive when new (1994) but are now dated. The original instruments work, except for the engine synchronizer. The twin Pleasurecraft Marine 351W Ford engines and Velvet Drives are in top shape. The boat is in storage for the winter. In Spring 2022, I will update the electronics, install a larger swim platform and begin making cosmetic improvements, such as refinishing all the teak brightwork, and I might replace the analog gauges, etc. Now we have the winter to decide on a name! She will be moored at Bayview marine in Portland, ON.

Re: Access to swim platform bolts 3807
I'm a new Riviera 2807 (1984) owner and my winter project is rebuilding and/or replacing my swim platform. First challenge is to get the old one off. There are four mounting points to the transom, each with, I believe, three bolts. All bolt heads are inside, just the nuts accessible from outside. I'm hoping the bolt heads are fixed in place and the nuts will easily be removed, but that wouldn't be reality, right? Nevertheless, being forever hopeful I'm counting on at least one forum member knowing about this. Please--and thank you!

My bolts were not fixed in place, still need to figure out removal on the starboard side might have to cut access panel.
Good luck, Dave

You could put a zippered door in the shrink......you can go in and out all winter.......just keep a ladder under the boat.
