I've since fitted an add-on rudder yesterday and it's much improved. My question is based around how easy or not the engine is to access on the Conquest. Ours has a fixed vertical window, then the sloping area underneath is a galvanised steel plate which is screwed in place, which means the only way I could lift the engine was to straddle the back of the boat while I talked to it nicely and persuaded the engine to lift without throwing me into the wet stuff. What access do Conquests normally have to the outboard? I have seen various images with windows at different angles, or a fabric panel instead of the steel one but I am not sure what would be standard. I am now coming up with various ideas of how to fit a door into the rear to either replace just the steel panel or a 2 piece structure with opening window and lower panel. Has anyone got a similar setup they would be kind enough to describe or provide pictures of?
