Slight change of topic:
I am about to replace my fuel gauge, which should be a very simple matter. It is being made more complicated due to an access problem. It would be easy if C&C had left a little extra wire behind the all the other instruments (tach, water temp, oil pressure, etc.), all of which are mounted on a Westerbeke panel. With a little extra wire, I could remove the panel without disconnecting every instrument, but unfortunately the wire lengths are too short. As a result, I can only pull the panel away from the coming about two inches - not enough to get in there from the deck. Instead, I must crawl down into the cave under the cockpit, navigate through bunch of hoses, sit more or less on top of thru-hull fittings (ouch), and squeeze my head and one arm into an itty-bitty space. For those with similar setups (if there are any), has anyone come up with a simpler solution than either: a) crawling around in the cave; or b) disconnecting every instrument on the removable panel?
