It helps to be short!
Warefuller,
Yes, it's literally a pain! My Sabre 28 has a tiller so I don't have to worry about steering gear. I'm 5'-6" but it was still so difficult getting to work on the Whale pump at the back end of the lazarette, I put an access hatch in the aft end of the starboard cockpit bench.
I try to stretch first and then place towels or cushions in strategic places to take my weight while I work. My next challenge will be getting to the stuffing box under the fuel tank!
You don't happen to have access to a smart 10 year old, do you? I hear they work for software!
Good luck,
Big Eye
