The access to the top of the fuel tanks are easy on our boat as I just have to lift the seat lid on the settee (starboard tank) and remove one chair over the sole hatch (port tank).

The logic is all DTL on several large PCBs that are stacked on top of each other. The DTL DIP chips are surface mounted with their leads bent out from the body and soldered onto traces on top of the boards so replacing them with socketed TTL is easy.
