| Post subject: | Foam Block Locations |
I've had a 2014 PA 14 for almost two years and this week I noticed that some of the foam blocks had moved. Never had this issue before. Is there a diagram or drawing of where all the blocks go? I've seen other posts with similar questions but never seen a schematic that might assure one of putting everything back where it belongs. I'd hate to put one in the wrong location and lose support of the deck in an integral way. The ones that moved around are gray and almost a rectangle except for one end which is angled. I think they go under the seat area because that's where they had accumulated. I wedged them back into that area and they seem to fit. Any drawing or photos out there? |

There are 4 of those angled foam blocks that go under the seat area. They sit as a block of 4 (2 rear/2 front) up against each other. Just make sure the angled bottoms are tilted to best correspond to the bottom center of the hull. |

I just bought my 2016. I'll take pictures when I get home and post here. |

Thanks, SRAces, That's exactly where I put them, with the angled edges down, contouring to the bottom of the hull. Actually locating those seemed pretty easy, I just wasn't sure it was exactly right. Hey, nap, photos of the entire configuration would be great and a super resource for others on this forum. Thanks for the replies! |

The layout of the foam blocks on a PA14 (2013-2016) should all be basically the same. The four foam blocks I mentioned under the seat cover that area. On each side (from just in front of the floor hatch in the outer bottom hull area extending rearward), you have 3 of the dark gray foam blocks in a row. After those three foam blocks you will find a white cylindrical foam block (one on each side) that notches in basically under/outside of the front Vantage seat mounts. That's the configuration. |
