'84 Mercruiser 5.7 898 on a 19'Chris Craft...<br />Hey guys, I'm trying to tighten the transom bolts (I think thats what there called) because I can see the gap between the transom and the plate that surrounds the gimbal housing that is supposed to sit flush with the transom. It's loose and when I fill the bilge up from the inside, water pours out but when I push from the back of the housing, it stops. My question is, "what is the easiest way to tighten these bolts?" They have to be tightened from the inside and I see no way of getting to them. Special tool? I can get a wrench on there barely with my pinky but no way to torque it.
