My gudgeons are pretty worn and sloppy. next winter I am considering replacing. Looking at the top gudgeon it looks like one has to cut an access hole to get at the nuts and .... backing plate. I really do not like this idea. How about just drilling all the way through and using longer bolts on the inside ( outside?) of the cockpit? Of course using care not to crush the hull and cockpit together when tightening.
I guess I will be able to get at the lower gudgeon without too much trouble.
