Hey -
I have a CP22 (Mark 1) that I just purchased a set of Harken Self-Tailing Winches for. My boat is currently shrink-wrapped for the winter, so I cannot gain access to it at this time. I am trying to figure out how to access the winch mounting - particularly on the port side. I figure I can hire a anorexic 11 year old to stuff down the starboard side cockpit locker to get to the backing nuts, but no such access on the port side. Do I need to remove the rear bulkhead aft of the portside settee berth to gain access?
