I can easily relate to that. I was stuck, headfirst, in the lazarette on friend’s Hunter 34. The lazarette was deep and there was a “point of no return”. If you passed it, there was no way to crawl your way back, but the lazarette was too tight to fall in and reverse. Fortunately, the owner was not that far away and eventually heard my yelps for help.
I keep saying that we need to teach some very little kids (2-3 yo) to do maintenance on our boats. They have the right size for that.

Or a boat expander! I still have nightmares of getting stuck back under the cockpit. I once got stuck upside down head first, under the cutting board, under a panel below that where I was working on the isotherm refrigeration unit. I was calling for help, but no one was around. After about an hour and half, I finally extricated myself.

My memory of working back there was I just crawled in and back out. Turns out to not be that easy, I had to take the engine control cables and bilge pump hoses off their fittings and I still can just barely sort of do it. When I was a teenager I fit just fine. Did the boat shrink? Can I expand it? Did I “opposite of shrink”?
