Mounting A Wagner Steering helm pump to get more belly room......

[man7sell]

OK I could go on a diet....but.
There is very little room between my helm wheel and the seating area making it difficult to use the starboard access door. My thought is to remount the Wagner pump back a few inches, still leaving access to the filler cap. I think there are two large bolts that the pump mounts to the panel but I'm not sure. Anyone had to remove or mount one of these?

Yes 2 bolts and several hydraulic hoses or pipe.

There’s no reason why you couldn’t move it forward, unless that reason is hiding in the cabinet.
Be careful not to create a knuckle buster!

Well I was able to move it back by just an inch because of what is behind the pump, but even that inch made a huge difference.
