Stan, this past weekend I installed an 8 inch access port in place of the 4 inch one. Gave decent access to all the through deck bolts but still a stretch when you are working alone. I've been removing all the through deck bolts and taping screws on my Ty and have been oversizing the holes in filling with epoxy to seal off any core.
