it took 1.5 hours:smt013 for me to contort my body toward the back of the engine bay to change my blower motor. i want to take on the spark plugs but not sure i can get to them. i also dropped a screwdriver and see no way to get it, even with that magnet wand i have. i sure miss my mastercraft prostar and my moomba outback!
 
Well what did you expect for a Roll Tide fan in Gainesville, FL (Grin) Sorry could not help myself.

Can you remove the engine cowling on 210? What a difference it makes on the 240SD.

Having owned both a 210 Sundeck and a 240 Sundeck, I give the nod to the 240 Sundeck as being the hardest to work on.

But with either boat some jobs are just very difficult unless you are a skinny ambidextrous midget with mechanical abilities that can stand on his head while working.:smt043
 
You forgot that you also need ET fingers.

Um... No. The 195 Sport is the hardest boat to work on, especially when you get the V8 option which takes up 99% of available free space. At 6' 3" I absolutely dread having to climb in the hatch to work on the motor. Thankfully I have two small kids for that.
If my kids are not available to spin wrenches, then I make sure that there are no kids present within a 2 mile radius because the amount of cursing I produce is somewhat epic.
