I have a 2000 190SD. The A/C unit has a metal grille which, in my case, nver seems to stay in place. Is there an easy way to have this metal grille fixed in place? In anything but smooth waters, the grille comes flying out. I'd like to have it taken care of now that the boat is out for winterizing. Thanks.
 
I also had the same problem with my grill under the forward berth. What I ended up doing was.....hold the grill in place....and installed 2 small s/s screws into the metal frame on both sides.....the grill now stays in place and it looks fine too.
When you need to change the filter......just back out the screws and remove the grill.
 
There are small nylon fasteners that slide up into a channel and these hold the grills in place. It's a poor design but make sure you have all 4 for each grill. Maybe one or more is missing?

Thanks DD. That's a good idea.

That's it. Mine certainly doesn't have the nylon fasteners. I'll check the SeaRay parts people to get these fasteners. Thanks again.
 
mine didn't have the nylon fasteners either........it seamed to be just pressed into place. Yes...........poor design
