one of the may reasons I dont mind being 5'0" ... i can fit where most "humans" cannot go...althoug as i approach 60.. I'm not quite as flexable as i once was..
I have seen Sea craft boats with hinged consoles ( inboards)... I thought about it when I redecked mine a few years back... instead, i made each harness go to accesable buss or fuse panels...... all the terminations on the busses ( wires numbered with Brady markers and I keep a schematic) are coated with liquid tape... they never loosten or corode... even a large individual could reach anything they needed to the way it is set up....

I've pretty much worked through my list as well.... having the boat home this year made the list larger... grinding bottom paint tomorrow...recoat on sunday...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
