Just take a 3/4 drive with the right size socket for the nut and the appropriate vertical extension then use a pipe on the drive end of the wrench about 3 feet long and pull with all your weight but don’t jerk it. You should end up pretty close to what is recommended but you will be lucky to get more than one click on the drive for each pull given the space available in the cabin. I did that on my 35MKII and at the time i had custom 3/8 thick ss plates made to replace the old washers. And last spring i got rid off the famous C&C smile with glass and epoxy at the forward end of the keel/sump joint about 18 inches and after several freeze thaw cycles all seems good I am happy
