A while back, someone described a modification they made to the engine lockers to allow side access to the engines for the older hulls that had the top loading lockers without the side panel design on the new boats. Can someone point me to that thread, I want to make that mod on hull #15.
Thanks,
Sam

Re: Engine locker modification
Sam,
Are you still running the old style 9.9's? When you upgrade to the newer smaller head design you will find it's pretty easy to just pull them up for maintenance; I was even able to pull start them fairly easily. (not my boat)
Modifying so that the hatch is now two pieces might add more rattle. That being said, I enjoy the 32's full access hatches.
