Ok, I know it sounds crazy, but I cannot for the life of me install a replacement inline bilge blower in my Baja Islander. Normally, they screw right into the fiberglass, but I think the original was installed before the boat top was placed on the hull. I can't get my arms in there to screw in the new sheet screws (keep dropping the darn things).

The Attwood inline bilge blowers are so light (and cheap), that I almost think it could just hang. I hope that velcroing it will just help prevent it from banging around.

Any suggestions, especially from Baja owners that have been there?

Mount to a piece of marine plywood with straps and epoxy the plywood plate in.
