Kevin,
Not sure if the 34 is the same as my 35-1, but in my case the toilet was
mounted on a platform as you describe, and the there are studs, not thru
bolts, that hold the toilet down. The "studs" are called hanger bolts,
they have a wood-screw thread on one end, and a machine thread on the
other, with the wood screw end going into the platform. I filled the
old holes with epoxy, and drilled and screwed in the new hanger bolts.

Hey everyone,
I'm going to be replacing the toilet on our 34 in the next week or so.
Last time I was down there I was looking at how it's mounted and
noticed that it's up on a little platform and looks like there are
thru-bolts holding it in place. I'm assuming that there is then a bolt
on the underside that I will need to try and hold in place to loosen
and tighten. I can't seem to figure out how to get under there though?
I've thought that maybe the wall panel towards the v-berth comes off,
but haven't tried it yet. Typically when I do something like that,
something breaks and I'd prefer not to break something if I don't have
to. :-)
Any ideas on how to get to the underside of that platform for mounting
a new toilet to it?
Also, if I need to drill new holes for the new toilet, should I fill
the old holes? If so, with what?
Thanks,
Kevin Paxton
