The make a telescopic magnet with a 90 degree rotating head. They have an allen screw for adjusting tightness. Got pretty damn good at using them doing machine installs when i was still machining. They make different grade strenght magnets and they are worth the money. Even if if costs you $25 it will come in handy many more times. Mine was similar to this one

Here's one on my high tide where I taped a bore scope to my socket extension. I believe the other screen on my laptop was a conference call.

Kirk, you’re a genius. That’s slicker’n eel shit. Wilk, stainless won’t work on magnets. That borescope is slick as shit too.
Great ideas.

Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
It’s a pain in the butt fo sho.
I used a ratchet and used tape and/or caulk to hold the nut in the socket. Turned from the top. Once the nut was on I grabbed it with vice grip and continued to tighten fro the top. I’ve put two of these on. One on a Key West and the other on an SV2100.
I installed one on a tidewater 19' and had the same issue. I used a pair of big vise grips tightened down on a pair of needle nose vice grips with the nut in the needle nose. Had to contort arms/shoulders and had someone else feed the bolt through. It wasn't easy and took some precision getting the bolt on the nut but it's been good for over 9 years.
Cut in a pothole and install cover. Ya might have to access it again.

Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.
I ordered one of those little bore cameras BET has, it's arriving today. Will try it this weekend and bring four of those Worst Marine toggles as back up.
Little Sister's arms arent long enough to reach, and I dont cuss around her. I am sure there will be cussing. Lots of it.

I needed the socket swivel due to the angle I was working at but It made the whole process significantly more complex. Too many degrees of freedom
On a side note, bore scope cameras are inexpensive. They make some that connect to a smart phone. I've used mine for mechanical work, stuff under the deck of a boat and checking duck boxes.

Forgive me, I would think a stop nut with a large fender washer would be > the toggle bolts. I'd much prefer the $60 set of toggle bolts and ten minutes of work to what I foresee with the borescope.
