pull up on the outside of the seat. the part that it closest to the outer side of the bow. there are hooks on the in side part and if you pull on them they will never open. pull backside up then slide it out and up. if that makes sense. everyone that comes on are boat has a hard time with them. good luck
Thanks they finally popped loose. The 180 is opposite from the new 175s in the placement of the hooks. Cant figure out why sea ray doesnt cover this in the owners manual.. Thanks
