Makes you wonder if there isn't an access hole behind it...unless you drill access holes under that builder's plate.

As you say, a camera shot inside would help quell your fears, otherwise it is a difficult re-engineering job. I think the chances of getting the four screws in and out cleanly are about zero, unless you drill access holes under that builder's plate.

That boat, in pic, has had a hole cut behind builders. Pretty sure to install self steering. Some have put speakers, ie big holes either side. But to grind blind very tricky and not convinced you could get to the vital spot anyway.Makes you wonder if there isn't an access hole behind it...
Which it almost certainly will.Hence wanting someone to put an arm round me and say "it'll be reet"
No history of failing to my knowledge.Which it almost certainly will.
If they'd not sealed the screws properly they'd have failed before now. Is there any history of these failing? I bet there isn't.
So maybe you're better off not disturbing the builders' competent work?No history of failing to my knowledge.

Would the 'hole' liner come out ? It must have been put in afterwards as it goes out through the hull.See what you mean:

I have thought about that. It's bonded in with large overlap at hull side. Would be very destructive and way beyond my skills to put back satisfactorily. Also would still be grinding blind, as far as i can tell, when trying to reveal nuts.Would the 'hole' liner come out ? It must have been put in afterwards as it goes out through the hull.
