Replaced cabin backrest fabric - DIY
#1
Replaced the vintage 2003 tan plaid fabric with navy blue on our 2900 Coronet cabin backrests.  There are 5 screws underneath to remove in order to take off.  Once off I cut off the old fabric, kept the old foam on.  Bought one waterproof outdoor patio curtain on amazon for $10, cut to size and stapled back on.  Install was about 10 minutes each side.  I give in an A-.  Will see how it holds up.  

Before / During / After

Looks good.  I wish I could think of a better use for that area.  Those boards seem to get in the way of potentially useful storage space (e.g., rod holders, etc.).

That looks really nice. I did the same with our 3100 Open, but used black faux leather and just covered up the nave fabric that was there. It came out really nice. I had trouble getting a couple screws back in so it took a little more than 10 min each. maybe 20 mins, lots of sweat and frustration. But I agree it was an easy job and makes a huge difference.
