This kit modifies the aft fuselage bulkhead, reroutes the aileron calbes, extends the baggage compartment floor to the aft of the fuselage tower and repalces the rear seat with a 50/50 foldiing Seat.·
This kit has been seperated into three kits all based on the same STC:
- Aft bulkhead modification and baggage compartment floor extension
- Aileron cable reroute
- Folding rear seat replacement
The Aft Bulkhead Modification opens up the rear baggage compartment by modifying the bulkhead so that there is no impediment behind the seats to the baggage compartment.· That means no more little hole and using your boat hook to fish out gear.· This is in our opinion is one of the "must do" modifications for the Seabee.· In addition to removing the aft bulkhead the original plywood baggage compartment floor is replaced with a new aluminum floor structure that adds cargo hooks.· This is a complex kit to install and should be done only by an A&P with Seabee experience.· If you are not having our shop do this work then we will be happy to recommend an experienced Seabee A&P.· This kit includes the parts to modify the bulkhead and the STC.· The STC included with this kit is used for the other two kits related to this modification.
The Aileron Cable Relocation and baggage compartment floor extension kit relocates the aileron cables to open up the aft part of the baggage compartment and extends the baggage compartment floor to create a level space from the modified bulkhead to the back of the fuselage tower.· This kit requires that the aft bulkhead modification be installed.

The Folding Seat kit provides a replacement 50/50 folding seat that allows for a 2,3 or 4 seat configuration of the aircraft.· The folding seats in the "down" position provide a completely flat cargo area from the rear of the front seats to the back of the fuselage tower, approx 8 feet.· This kit requires that aft bulkhead modification.
