:To get the rear side of the front bulkhead it's easiest to
: turn the boat upside down on saw horses and reach into the cockpit from
: underneath. Still a little bit of a contortionist act. Heats up nice and
: warm in there from the trouble light, too.

I highly recommend a climber's headlamp (Princeton Tec or Petzl, to name two) since you can aim the light right where you need it, and it gets hot enough just from breathing in that confined space!
