500 / 52 Sedan Bridge Engine Access

For those of you with the QSM11's is there good/reasonable access to the outboard areas of the engines especially to get to the raw water pump?

Thanks

The water pump is in the outboard side of the port motor (starboard is onboard). Access is decent - my mechanic had no trouble changing the impeller. Outboard side of starboard motor is tighter, and a bit harder to get access to from the back of the motor.

I find that I can reach most of the components, if I move slowly and carefully.

Thanks I really appreciate the input. Was discussing the same on the phone with someone else also.
