I was wonder if anybody had good idea how to change filters & plugs on a 185 sport. i was thinking that there had to be a way to remove the back section panels @ the engine compartment to make it easier to reach through.. any ideas :smt017 ? thanks
 
I wish, thankfully I'm a small dude and literally squeezed in and laid down in the bilge with just my feet sticking out. Not a fun job. Good luck.
 
I do it with my feet in the air. You can guess where my head is. A bit awkward, but as long as some one is around to pull you out if needed, it goes pretty quick.

I will say, though, that it's awful nice when I see "MPI" (fuel injected) on the workorder. That means the filter is mounted up on top of the engine. Doesn't change anything for the plugs, but the filter is a piece of cake.
