My method to get in there is to close the port cockpit drain seacock, pull the hose off it and get it out of the way, and then I can slide in on my back. Not that I like it, but that works for me.

I discovered this weekend that one of mine has no nut. I was dreading trying to crawl in there.

Good advice on the top bearing nuts - that took a lot of play out of my steering when done last year.

Then tighten the four screws that hold the bearing around the rudder post to the cockpit floor. You'll have to remove the helm seat in order to reach in through the access ports so you can hold the nuts with a wrench. Once that is done, you can tighten the turnbuckles that are used to adjust the cable tension until you have the amount of play with which you are comfortable. You can reach the turnbuckles through the port cockpit locker, and possibly through the access panel in the back of the quarter berth. Now would be a good time to check the cables to make sure they are not frayed. Take a piece of facial tissue (Kleenex) and hold it loosely around the cable, while someone moves the wheel through it's full rotation. If there is any fraying, the tissue will catch it, and it would be advisable to replace the cable.
