    I'm a big guy and I was far enough up in my bow to reach it. Getting through the opening was not easy though, had to go one shoulder at a time.
    Then again by big guy I mean 6'5" 250 so I prolly have some long arms.

    Buy a cheep socket and weld it to a 6 ft. rod, then get a cheep extention and weld it to it. then get a rachet and then tighten her up. And then sell it to the next guy. and the next guy, and then the next guy.

    Hey sixgun, nice meeting you and Dave last weekend. You are the same size as me and I think you can do it. I did, and it was not fun. Is Dave still taking about the ride in the Hydro?

    Sangervdrive, I had an identical hull to yours so I know about the room you have, this '66 has less room than that! Big Heavy I cannot get a socket over the top of the nut without hitting the underneath of the deck. I will go out to the garage and take some pics right now to show everyone how tight it is. I might have to e-mail someone to get the pics up

    Even if it's too tight to get a socket over it, use a crows foot. There is always a way to get to it somehow.

    You will need to find a skinny homie with long arms to do it. They will lay on thier chest and face and do it by feel. It really sucks up in there! Make sure they have light and a fan blowing air. It get hot in there even in the winter.
