I have a selection of ratchet extenders on board, from 12" to 3", and
have used them more than once to place nuts on my boat. Handy ratchet
extenders, in my opinion, have rounded ends that allow a bit of play so
you don't have to line up the ratchet just exactly perfect. However, if
you need more than one extender, it's best to only have one rounded one
in the series, else it's hard to control. I've also found it useful to
stick a glob of masking tape, or chewing gum, in the socket to hold the
nut in place. I actually have a few sockets packed with glop and look
at them fondly, although I can't remember when or why.

Are you able to reach all of the bolts through the access ports? The nut
actually came off one of my forward bolts. I'm going to try putting a nut
in a socket and hope I get lucky enough to have it catch. I cant get my
hand in there. (I was able to tighten the aft bolts.) Any other
suggestions?
