BTW, Rod, the layout on the 38 is basically identical to the 33-1.
My solution to access was to buy two large rectangular access panels - 12" x
15" I think - and use these to replace the 6" round screw in ports that were on
the aft wall of the cockpit.
Not only do I have good access to hose connection, wiring, the bolts holding
the boarding ladder, etc.; I have installed a square of trampoline netting from
a beach cat in the bottom of the space inside the transom and have storage
space for spare dock lines, the floats for my anchor trip line, and some other
infrequently used items that were in the cockpit lazarettes.
