Yeah I figured it was best to replicate the existing known to function system. In related news, I lost my ratchet and 3/4" socket to the depths of the bilge while trying to remove the CB pivot bolt. I fished around for it with a magnet and no go. It's probably nestled in with the random foam blocks somewhere. When I get everything back together and back on the trailer I'll drive it around down, and hopefully the ratchet will work its way to the low point.
For anyone attempting this in the future it's probably best to remove the bolt when the boat is upright. Anything dropped can easily be picked up then. If not, tie a cord to any tools you're using in the bilge space.
