Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Looked through the numerous posts, and I'm sorry if this is a repetitive question, but how do you gain access to the vdrive and transmission to winterize and check the oil on a 2014 A20. Also, does one use a pump to change the oil? Thanks.

You should be able to pull the insert out from under the rear bench seat. The fiberglass peice should just pop out.

Stick the suction of the pump into the hole where the dipstick is. Suck it out with the pump. Move the suction hose around a bit towards the end to ensure you got as much out as you could. Refill with new transmission fluid. Voila!!

Thanks for the reply, but maybe I'm overlooking something, but mine has the skybox seating with a stepup to the back platform. So, my question is where exactly is the access panel, since the stepup appears to be one piece fiberglass.

That whole step up should remove/lift up to gain access

The stepup pops off. It should lift right up.

As others said, slide the seat forward out of the way. Then just grab the fiberglass box by the sides and lift.

Thanks to all for getting back to me. This forum is great. My boat is down at the lake, so I'll have to wait for the weekend to try gaining access to the vdrive. Thanks again.

Wanted to follow-up, all were right on target, very easy access. Thanks to all.
