Hi Skip, Yes, I cut an access hole in my cockpit' transom to reach the rudder mounting nuts. I also made the hole long enough to replace both the boarding ladder and motor mount bolts and nuts.
I created a detailed account of the access hole at: http://www.yourcommunityweb.com/Monty15/rudderaccess.htm Let me know if you have any other questions. Your can reach of list at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Norm M15 #172 _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
