I am trying to change the fresh water pump in a 2007 36 Sedan Bridge. There is very small hatch under the galley kitchen sink which does provide limited access to the fresh water pump. However when i put my head through the hatch I can also see a panel on the back of the Salon Stairs. The panel appears to be hinged and also has a gas strut indicating that I should be able to lift up the salon stairs providing better access to the pump. Does anyone know if it is possible to lift the stairs? If so how are the stairs attached. I have not been able to locate any stairs. Photo attached.

I meant to say "I have not been able to locate any screws"

Congrats on the new boat!

These should be very helpful if you don't have them already:

Thanks Phil. I have those manuals and checked the details related to the salon steps. Unfortunately there are no details that might help me understand how to move or lift the salon steps to expose the tunnel under the sink. The tunnel incorporates the fresh water pump, wiring, associated piping, cold and hot water manifolds, ducted vacuum cleaner etc. Do you know any people on this forum that I could tag to ask if they know how to move/lift the salon steps? Thanks and regards Jason
