Starboard side made up into 6 ft + bed by lowering galley covers, adding extender cushion and support, then removing seatback and moving to front of bottom. Seat back is held by strap around steering wheel snapped into the existing snaps on the seatback. A support slides out from under seat bottom to support the seatback; very simple to deploy.

The helm seatback is quickly removed with a large knob on each side, I drilled out the aluminum rivets and used a tee nut (with brad holes) to accept the 5/16-18 bolt. The teenut is held in place with JB weld.

Bed support for the starboard bed is stowed on the  port-side box. Note the extender support  holding the port extender cushion. It can be quickly slid back under the lid to allow use of the original cushion for the 2 position commuter seat. The starboard bed support rests on a wood block at each end and is captured by the slotted fingers; it is rock solid with the leg extended. The storage box with lid is 40 inches long and holds kitchen items.

Port and starboard beds looking forward. My bride sometimes likes to use the port bed as a sofa sometimes looking forward and sometimes with the copilot seat full against the bulkhead looking aft.
