: Hi Bill

: I find that damage tends to be at the ends, and sometimes a bit hard to reach
: easily, even with hatches.
: I put a screw in hatch in my forward bulkheads so I can get to the footrests
: if they jam as it is almost impossible reach them with an ocean cockpit
: and too much fun for people on the beach who are watching.

: One of the reasons I hate plumbing jobs is that one always ends up contorted
: in tight spaces.

: As I get older I get less bendy.

: Et

Hi Et,

LOL...ok, yes it does look a little funny (boat with feet) trying to adjust the pedals with an ocean cockpit, have a couple of them myself

I know all about less bendy with age .
