I was going to say the same thing. With the hood off this should be even easier.

But for some reason reading your note reminded me I have a big set of ratcheting box ends that go up to 1 1/2” for keel bolts. Surely, there would be a 7/8” wrench in that set. I don’t have occasion to use them much, so forgot about them, but yes, they should do just fine! Thanks for reminding me.
When I reinstall the plugs, what torque value am I shooting for?
Edit: that works. Because these ratchet, they are not as low profile as standard box end wrenches, but I could still get enough solid contact to break loose #4. And then tighten it again, because it is still drizzling and I don’t want water getting in there. I’ll see what I can sort out in the daylight tomorrow.
Sometimes it really stinks not having a garage or workshop in which to work under cover….
