Rear seat back contacting engine.

[lbSand]

Hello all.
2000 190 LX 4.3.
As you know, the LX is equiped with the rear bench seat. I've noticed the seat back has bowed towards stern a little and is coming in contact with the engine drive belt and pulley. A potential first hazard as the carpet overlaps.
Anyone have a quick fix or suggestion?

I didn't know that, but the plywood in the seat back needs to be replaced

Yeah, I was hoping not to go that route as upholstery would be involved. Thought maybe someone DIY'd a brace against the inside of the transom or something kind of support.
