It has been a few years and I did not undo the flip table, only the chair and base. After unbolting the chair to expose the fur covered wood block I found on our R27 that the block was screwed in from behind the panel and not accessible for unscrewing. I took the fur off of the wood block and proceeded to chisel at it until I worked the block down to a small enough piece where I could break it loose from the screws. Once the block was gone I used a pair of pliers to unscrew the screw from its pointy side, enough to where I could reach behind the panel it is attached to to unscrew the screws by hand. On our R27 there was mouse fur behind the wood block so once the block was gone the panel looked like the block had never been there. Hope this helps,

Hello,
The only real way to remove the chair is by simply unscrewing the hinge screws that hold the seat on. Many that have removed the seat put the screws back into the permanently fixed block that it mounts to so it doesn't show open holes. I agree with Jim that the flip table should probably stay in place which I use for a charging table (since it has an outlet below) and I do not know that I would suggest removing the carpeted block that is screwed from behind.

Just adding my 2cents
I think the factory can save the material and labor to install this chair and wall support and just issue a foldable camping chair with ranger logo. Much more versatile to use. More comfortable and can be used in the cockpit. By foldable I mean one that folds down to a tubular foot print rather than a flat footprint
I personally found the attached factory seat not very comfortable, but that may be a fault of my personal stern🙂

I removed mine just as Jim did. The chair may be a marketing piece, but IMO not practical. Ranger should query the owners. I am sure the chair assembly is worth a few bucks and if no one is utilizing it why go through the cost.

The chair is more valuable to the factory as a selling point for attracting new customers than the few dollars it costs them
This is a well trod path - for those old enough, think of the Plymouth Superbird
Remember the old adage, 'sell the sizzle, not the steak' :mrgreen:
