2320 hoses and thru hull replacements

[capecodparker2320]

I have owned my 2002 2320 for three seasons and think its time to replace all the hoses, thruhulls, hose clamps etc. I'm struggling how to replace the fuel hoses and the thruhull and hose leading to the deck storage/fishbox with a drain that drains out on the starboard side which seems to be just beyond my reach after removing the access panel from inside the cabin. Thanks

Sometimes you have to cut a hole in the boat....Then install a pop out pie hole cover.

Boats are built from the inside out....Yet we work on them from the outside In.

I honestly had not thought about cutting a hole in the deck, then installing a pie hole cover, but that makes perfect sense. Thanks.

Sometimes I dream of building a back deck so that it could lift up like the hood of a car - on hinges and gas struts, with a water tight seal around the outer edge.

(usually when I'm up to my waist hanging my head down through the transom doors trying to replace a bilge pump or clean debris from the bilge..) . I'm a skinny guy, so I can just barely get a shoulder and my head down into the rear area inside the trap doors.
