Has anyone come up with an alternate way to secure the plastic access panel that has to be removed to access the impeller housing?
It's doable, but a pain to get off and on and I dropped several fasteners into the bilge. That and scratching the heck out of my arm.
I was thinking maybe plastic auto body fasteners since it's just a lightweight cover and not a structural component, but not sure if vibration would be an issue. Not considering threaded inserts due to corrosion possibilities.
I missed this little maintenance gem when I bought the boat and might have reconsidered had I known.
