I had the exact same problem after each power wash was done by our local boat washer (Yacht Docs :thumbsup:). Every time they power washed the portlights I would have a water soaked carpet in front of the head area below the door. So, as a test, I had them not power wash the portlight areas at...

I tried John's method and it worked perfectly. Couldn't believe how much force you need to turn the #$%^%^ things! :wow:

Thanks John :thumbsup:

How do you get the Clarion speakers covers off their bezels? :huh: I felt a hole at the bottom edge but couldn't see how it comes off... :smt101
