La Neige, a 37/40 XL has an access cover in the head. It is one of those hinged plastic rectangular shaped hatches. Highly recommend at least this, as I couldn't have accessed the mounts to replace them. Also allows access to raw water pump and starter (still have to remove starter to get the pump out though.) I' will post pics next time I get aboard (maybe tomorrow). It was installed by previous owner. I would recommend larger if you can find one. Mine looks like this one, but black: http://www.westmarine.com/buy/bomar--inspection-hatch-7-x-11-black--226873 I'll get the dimensions with the pics.
