Default 94 Top Gun Cabin Door
Never had this issue before. Took the boat out today...cabin door opened and closed without an issue. Did some ocean running and now when we close the door...or try to close the door it only goes 1/2 closed and then stops. Not sure what it’s hitting. Anyone ever have this issue? What’s the easiest way to figure out what it is...don’t feel like taking the whole dash apart. Thanks.

With the door partially open, you can look in between the face of the door and back of dash with a light and see if there is something stopping the door from sliding in. That would be where I'd start.

check the track as well, sometimes they wear through or it jumps it. also the wheels in the door will wear out sometimes. I think phil stocks them.

tried looking...had a bunch of people on board so that effort was futile. Will look again this week.

doesnt feel like a wheel or track issue. feels like it’s physically hitting something. When I did peak there are two pads sticking out from the gunnel wall that act as supports. Wondering if one shifted and is now hitting.

If your trying to close the door and its going halfway, wouldn't the issue be from port going starboard in front of the door and not behind it? Here is a pic of the stops your talking about, this is when I had mine apart and the two red lines represent the track.

Think I confused everyone including myself...the issue is in the opening direction. Not closing. My bad. When I try to open it goes 3/4 open. I can squeeze into the cabin but not by much. So the door is coming close to those stops. The screw suggestion is a good one. How much of a PIA is it to take the dash out to fix?! lol

No problem, sounds like you might have something back there blocking the door. It's not to bad, probably 15-20 Screw holding console in. Do you have any gauges on your console? If not, it makes it a lot easier!
