The lower companionway steps/engine cover on our 331 must be pulled away and set aside to get to the engine. Yet while boat hunting this winter and looking at a few videos of other 331's, I saw that the lower step was hinged to the upper step.
Any other 331 owners lack the hinges, and would this change be as simple as adding hinges and a gas strut to hold up the steps? Does the hinged cover allow adequate room to get to the engine?
