Because their engineers and designers don't need to do the maintenance...
I had this conversation with my grandson a couple days ago. He is working for a boat/yacht repair company right now and has been dealing with these tight fitting places almost daily. I just laugh since I do all my own work on our boats.
To the original question. I have similar problem on my Luhrs and since I can no longer squeeze to the outboard side of one engine I use the opening they placed between the cabin and the engine space. It makes for easy access to the front of the port engine. Do you possibly have such an access port?
Thank you for advise
I will look at the pump removal on the port engine
and will see if can be done on starboard oneb

It’s easy on port engine
Starboard is different story
I will investigate that
Thank you all
You can do it. I had to remove a pump on an old Chris Craft with the engine tight up to the bulkhead. In 100 degree heat and humidity. It was a 6 knuckle job and about 1500 F bombs. Took a week to recover.
That might be costly, depending on where the boat is located. But I'm sure he would be willing to travel.
