I built a jig to represent the new engine. I bolted the jig to the old prop shaft and aperture which I temporarily put back in the boat. The big carriage bolts represent the engine mounts. The squares on the bottom represent the oil sump. I have plenty of room above it so I didn’t bother mocking up any of the top end. It’s tight down low. Some of the old engine bed has to be cut away. The rest I will use as a foundation for the new beds as it is well built. It seems like half the work is just the planning and knowing what to do next. Frost on the windshield this morning.
