Beneteau 473 - Waste Tank Panel Removal?

[CharlesWashburn]

Hello,
We are trying to figure out how to remove and access our waste tanks.
I removed the obvious screws, hiding behind the white caps.

Is there a trick to popping the panel of the wall?

thank you!

Do you have a picture? On the 423 the cover is a pain to remove on the forward head..... trickier to put back on..... but it’s doable with a little twisting pulling out, in etc..... I actually cut a big section off to make it a tad easier.

Good luck!
Greg
