Default general maintenance?

I've got a DCB F26 with a 525 in it and was doing the winterizing thing yesterday, you know, standing on my head to get the drains out, contorting my body to change the impeller, skinning my knuckles pulling wrenches I couldnt see, you get the picture. I've thought about stepping up to a bigger cat with twins, would love to go faster and have more power but how in hell do you work on them? Got to be at least twice as much fun?!!

I've got an F-34 which has quite a bit of room to work around the motors. There are some areas that are tough to reach but after you figure out how it doesn't take near so long. Twins do add more time and of course money. With my starboard and even my port raw water impellers, if wouldn't even think of servicing them on the engine. I take them off and work on them on a bench. After a while you know what wrench will fit in where. Twins won't be as bad as you think, but then of course I like to that sort of thing. I know it's done right.
