Space for manoeuvre in a ship's cabin? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sea room

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'space' is the definition.
(sea room is a kind of space)

'manoeuvre in a ship's cabin?' is the wordplay.
'manoeuvre in a ship' becomes 'sea' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cabin?' becomes 'room' (cabin is a kind of room).
'sea'+'room'='SEA-ROOM'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sea room that I've seen before include "Space to manoeuvre" , "required for naval manoeuvres" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
