I have a 2006 Sovran 3600, according to the book, you should be able to pull the entire helm compartment forward so you can get behind it to work on things, like the electronics etc.

The book showed 2 grab handles, I see it hinged on the bottom, the book mentions friction latches.  so I put my hands into the grab handles, and pulled.... nothing.  it seems I need to pry from the back (forward on the boat) of the compartment.  I did not want to do this as I was afraid to breaking the fiberglass.

Any ideas??  Do I just pull harder??  TIA.
