If you wanted you could build yourself a small vacuum box and make a wooden ,foam plug cut in two and vacuum form the two halves from plastic sheet and glue together plus its fun to do .

Wow, I appreciate you posting this!!! I worked at a boat factory for a few years and made wind-shields / wind-screens like this but we had an ovens big enough to walk in and industral vacuum pumps but the same concept.. I took home a bunch of scrap of thinner polyethylene sheeting; so now I can visualize making a hatch for my 50 v-hull. I guess make a plug and make this table and wham-O, make a hatch. I guess I sholud foam line the hatch so it doesn't re-melt from the engine heat and float if it ever blows off.

No problem if it helps just one person its worth it.I dont think heat from the motor will hurt your cowl unless your cooling systems not working .
