Hi Rick, Thanks for the response. I made some quick measurements again and read in detail Wally’s description for his 38 LF. I ended up ordering a side in/ top out vernalift(1500026) along with a 90 deg elbow to attach to the top. I plan to install it just aft and port of the engine, rerouting the main scupper hose on that side to provide extra space.
