Engine move
|
|
Having worried about the job for months, it actually went very easily this afternoon  A railtrack of ply and boards across the garden, a ramp up 3 steps, and then quite a steep path. The local authority kindly supplied the tree for the chain hoist 
The engine is now delivered back to the boat. Yaaay

Is there a convenient tree by the boat?

And using the convenient crane and Rich, who stayed after work, we got the engine back in sweet as a sweet thing, in 15 mins (good job I made a jig for the positions of the mounts before I took them out )
And I bought another OM636 today, for spares, which has just been lifted out of a boat which is being re-engined.
Damn fine day all in all

So when does your boat go back in the water?
You must be missing it by now

Re: Engine move

Well, I'm blocked in again for a couple of weeks, but that just means I can do the wiring and other bits and bobs, maybe even get the engine running before I launch.
It was important to get the engine in before tomorrow otherwise I wouldn't have had room to get the machinery in, after the next boat comes out. As it was I had to take down the stb cap shroud to make room for the telehandler boom!
