I've crouched within Ox's starboard lazarette and realized there was no way I could even reach the quadrant for a belowdeck homebrew autopilot project. (My BMI = 28.7).
One time, while replacing the waterlift muffler, I remember looking at the exhaust hose going back into the inky-black shadows of the stern. I would consider cutting holes for access panels if I had to get my hands on the aft-most part of the exhaust hose.
