Going to Key West to begin work on salvage Albin 43. One of first items involves removal of rudders for straightening. I previously owned a sundeck 43 of different make, which had rudder post access aft of stern cabin (Once I learned to keep away from yard mechanics, I had little trouble repacking sundeck 43 glands).
I have not been on boat, but gather access to trunk cabin posts is tight and am wondering what wrenches to bring, namely what length.
Can someone please relate experience on same? Help in matter greatly appreciated.

I have a 40 trunk cabin and there is plenty of room to work back there.

Welcome to the form, sounds like you are about to launch into a real project. I’ll tell ya if I was 30 years younger I’d still have to think about redoing a 43 footer in July in Florida. Wife and I redid a 27 FC over three years, about beat the crap out of me. Really happy with the finished product, hope yours brings you as much joy.
