Hey guys! When I was looking for a 460 last year there was one named Sky Fall listed around the same time. The PO had removed the couch in the guest room and installed a platform bed that doubles as a large storage area. I liked the idea and still do. After getting my small projects behind me I ready to tackle that one. Starting removing the couch yesterday. The mechanical part was easy. But seems the piece in the corner is going to be trouble. I’ll try to post some before and after pics here.
In the meantime, would love to hear any advice or suggestions on the project. Anyone else here done it?
Where’s the best place to get a custom mattress made?
Well, I didn't tackle that project but I did try and remove that corner piece so I could replace the sanitation lines from the mid-berth head a few years back. After being stumped by it's installation for a couple days I decided to contact Sea Ray. I had to get an "old timer" on the line that new something about 460's. His answer was "you won't get that out without destroying part of it. It was a poor design and the installation wasn't as simple as dropping it in and screwing it down."
I cut a larger access hole on the lower right side so I could get my head in there to see what was going on and sure enough, there were no mounting brackets of any kind. I thought I might see something for the seat cushion, but there was NADA! I pressed forward with the hose replacement, but it really sucked on that starboard wall to feed it through.
If someone does know how to do this, I would love to know. The guy with Sky Fall can be found on the 460 Facebook page still I do believe.
