Title: Beachcomber Hot Tub 530 Leaking Panel Removal Help
Post by: jkbeachcomber on August 06, 2016, 03:45:20 pm

Guys, new to the forum but wondering if anyone can help.

My beachcomber 530 is leaking under the tub and I need to remove some of the side panels to find the leak.

Can not lift it to see where it is coming from so need to remove panels.

It looks like a locking panel of wood with many pieces.

Has anyone ever removed the panels and how and can you give me some advice on how to do this.

Thank you.

What year is your tub? Is it lap seam wood?

Yes it has the lap seam all around.

Be careful with each board. Only take off the ones you need to take off. Once started its actually pretty easy. If you break any you will likely have to have some carpentry skills and equipment to make new ones.

How do you start to take them off as I see no way of doing this?

Generally in a corner.
