Adding an Engine Access Panel for Easier Maintenance on My Pearson 27

In this video, I walk you through the process of adding an engine access panel to my 1987 Pearson 27 sailboat. This upgrade was essential to gain easier access to the starter and alternator on the Universal M2-12 Diesel engine, especially with an upcoming engine control panel rewire. I'll show you the steps I took to carefully measure, cut, and install the access panel, making future maintenance and repairs much simpler and more efficient.
