Crealock-34 Head

[Fuujin]

I'm looking to replace the head in my Crealock-34 with a Groco Model K, but only have approx. 11" from bulkhead to the edge of the raised deck platform, any ideas? Almost every head I have considered seems to require at least 12" front to back, am I missing something?

About an inch. Sorry, couldn't resist.

You need another few inches for the seat to lean back so it stays up. That may not be an issue for you. I have a K and it is a large head.

well..... it all depends on where the screws end up. If the screws within the 11" with room to fasten etc, then you could just make a piece of Starboard that is 12"+ to cover the riser top (ie: overhanging ~ 1")

Looks like that might be the only answer, was trying to avoid that. Thx
