I have no such water issues on my 35 mkii Alianna hull no 242. It was rather difficult to get myself back to where i needed to get to adjust tension on my sterring cables. I cut away a small portion of the aft frame port side with a keyhole saw and was able to squeeze myself back with tools and light in hand to work on the quadrant including installing new grease cups, the rudder angle sensor for my Raymarine autopilot and to replace a broken axle on one of the sheaves, the original that i broke while in reverse by losing control of the wheel was like a shear pin and tensioning and lubricating the cable. I was able to install my swim ladder by removing the access port on the deck just forward of the taffrail. That was about 10 years ago and the hull is still stronger than any bendy toy. My aft jack stands contact where that bit of frame was removed. No issue. I am not sure i like the idea of a cut out in the cockpit behind the steering post but i have seen one on a friends 35mkii and i did consider it so i look forward to seeing what Eric did on Cat’s Paw
