38 Open - How to access Racor to drain
#1
This may be a very simple question, but I was hoping for some tips or tricks to accessing the Racor drains...they are adjacent to the generator and very hard to reach, even with my long arms.  

Also, I can't seem to get a wrench on the drains as the tunnel drive part of the hull is kind of in the way.  

I wanted to install the add-on peacock valves to make draining a cinch, but it doesn't look like there is enough room on the port side to do that (again, the tunnel drive part of the hull is in the way).  To make matters worse, it feels like the drain plugs may be slightly corroded, but I can't get my head close enough to take a look.  

Hoping someone has some advice or tricks regarding the Racors on the 38 Open.  Thanks!

-Greg
