You didn't call me! For the aches and pains - pre-treat with Aleve (Naproxin Sodium at Costco)!This post is very relevant for me at the moment. I am 58 years old and just spent the last 2 days in the bilge stripping down both mains removing the turbos, aftercoolers, heat exchangers, and exhaust manifolds for servicing. And of coarse I was away last week when it was cooler down here in Southwest Florida and now it’s back in the 80’s!. Ugh! The aftercoolers are heavy and I’m sure my back would be screaming if my son wasn’t there to help me get them out of the bilge. I was moving pretty slow after the first day because I did the starboard side first which was difficult to access. I’m 6’-1” so not to easy getting in tight spaces. If there is another large boat after this one, bilge size is definitely going to be a big priority. But these center consoles are looking more and more attractive to me..... nice and simple...
