I can't for the life of me figure out how to get this cover off so I can reattach the blower motor housing. The screws worked themselves loose and the blower motor fell off. I need the cover off to access the screw.

On my boat, it would be best to go behind the gunwale and push outward. If I spent some time looking, once the screws were out, it's possible that a longer screwdriver or something could be used to pry or pull from outside (not sure).

I got it. Took a flat head screwdriver, a rubber mallet and tapped the screwdriver into the little indent on the back of the cover and slowly worked it up. It doesn't exactly just pop right off.
