[38OpenMichigan]

Tilting the Helm station is relatively easy. Place the shift controls in reverse, grasp the throttles (in idle position) and shift handles and pull. It requires quite a bit of force to release the rubber hold downs. Do NOT pull on the steering wheel as you may damage it...That's the way I was told and have done it for 10+ years... Sounds funny but it works.... Not sure what "amp' your looking for but the stereo amp on my 38 Open, plan "A" is located behind the shore power selector/generator(Start stop)/meter panel on the bulkhead that separates the salon and the master stateroom (starboard side). Think your amp is also behind the same panel.  Remove several screws and the panel will hinge open....M2C

Tried it out the other day. Getting the screw off and tilting it back was relatively easy. The wiring behind is a work of art, but getting the helm to sit back on the screws took us over an hour. Any tricks to get it back on?
