: True, but while that's fine if you have hatches, it won't allow you

: IMO, installing bulkheads without hatches is a bad idea.

I agree, bad idea. One thing that's fairly easy is to put in a screw in or pry out Beckson hatch in the bulkhead, then at least you have some access to the closed in space and it's a heck of alot less work than conventional hatches and leave the decks clear.
