Rowland,
Though I can no longer see the hairlines indicating the access hole
locations, you are correct in reasoning that the holes want to be in
the same relationship to the seat flanges, NOT in the same
relationship to the central narrow part of the tunnel which I
mistakenly used when I made my initial cuts. (Easily remedied w/ a
small patch and some 5 min. epoxy.) Take the starboard side as a guide
and duplicate it on the port side and you'll be good to go.
