Access to inside Electrical Panel on 2013 R29

[EllisTug]

Hey all,

Another random question as I continue to troubleshoot issues. If this topic has been covered already, please feel free to point me to the discussion thread (I tried searching but don't think I found the right keywords).

I am wanting to know how to access the backside of the inner 12/120V panel in my R29. From the outside, I didn't see an easy access point (like hinges, etc. ) Has anyone been told how to get back there or access it? From the look of things, it does not look easy :shock:

Much thanks!

First of all: I haven't done the below, but I investigated it.
If you look at the covers from the side, you can see indents where a very small flat head screwdriver can be inserted. I speculate that the covers can be pried off, hopefully revealing the next step.
Please post whether this is successful.

Sounds like a plan ... I will take a closer look this Friday.

Anyone else? I have to imagine, this is a pretty situation to the Ranger 31 and 27 as well.

On the R31, the AC panel just aft of the Cave there are two plastic bars that run horizontally on the top and bottom of the switch breakers. With a firm grip, pull them out and they will reveal the square head screws holding the switches to the boat. Also, on the backside of the AC panel there is an access panel with four caps over screws that allow you to access the bottom half of switches.

On the DC Panel on the R31, same in the front, but no rear access.
