Has anyone put in a bigger bilge access panel in the motorwell of a Tournament 190? There is access through the deck plate, but it's pretty much impossible to reach in there because it's so close to the motor. If there was ever a problem, and I needed to gain quick access while underway, it would not be possible. Thanks for you help.

I don't see why you couldn't put in a larger hatch.

Just make sure you size it so it fits in the same flat area as the existing deckplate...and try to get one as close to watertight as possible.

I would look at the Armstrong 10x20 or one of their round ones if that won't fit.
