Stripping It Down

See two engines, starboard and port, identical.

See the door they have to fit out of.

Here is just the wiring harness alone for one engine (the port).

 See two engines.  See the size difference when one (the port) is stripped down to just a block and a vibration dampener.  The boat yard manager finally came over to look at the job today.  He was amazed at how we got the generator out on the aft deck by ourselves.  After looking at the job he said we might as well get the engines out the same way.  Of course last fall he had everything we needed to do this job.

Ray's job was to take everything off (of the engine).

Here is the third truck load of parts taken off of the engines.  Linda's job was to carry every piece up the salon stairs, out and down Ray's homemade ladder to the truck.  That was a lot of trips.

Here are those three truck loads of parts stacked up in our storage unit.

Oh, and Linda put the generator panels back on the generator and put a for sale sign on it after the boat yard finally got it off our aft deck.

P.S.  For those of you that thought it was scarey during storms when we are on the water, last night was scarier when a windy thunderstorm came through and you could feel the boat vibrating up on the chocs.
