The bolts holding the gudgeon plates are loose on my new to me M-17 (hull #400), I can access the middle set but the top and especially the lower set are a problem, I am thinking about cutting in a 6 inch inspection port in the bottom of the rear lazerette, That would give me access to the lower set. Maybe a 4 inch port in the cockpit side of the transom for the upper set. I may not need the upper, it is reachable but difficult. Before I start cutting holes in the boat I figure this is a good place to hear from others who have solved this problem. Thanks, Kevin
