I then added an adapter to change to 50mm pipe for a short run into the engine bay the place I placed a brand new 50mm muffler which, I hoped, was also big sufficient to form a water trap. The following best connection was a brief run of exhaust hose to hitch up to the muffler. Joining this to a straight length of pipe up to a Vetus syphon break, positioned excessive within the engine bay, and another straight size to return the water to the exhaust elbow. If the syphon break with no valve is fitted then a length of pipe needs to be fitted to take the overflow water via the hull above the water line. I used to be shown alongside the 'meeting line' the place pieces were eliminated and new items added. At this point I still hadn't taken possession of the engine, so, while the engine bay was empty I took the opportunity to substitute a number of the auxilliary bits and items.

I also got the local joinery agency to machine up a couple of blocks of excellent previous English Oak, 30mm thick, control cable to act because the packing items to raise the engine. The outdated exhaust pipe was 45mm id whereas the brand new engine needed 50mm. It was also on the other facet of the engine. Rather than exchange the whole exhaust system, I retained the stern fitting and the pipe forming the swan neck. Beta insist that a syphon break should be put in between the heat exchanger and the exhaust elbow to stop the opportunity of water syphoning via the engine into the exhaust pipe then again filling into the exhaust ports. Back at the boat, getting the engine on board was the alternative of getting the old one off. The 2 oak blocks had been bolted onto the bearers after getting a few coats of varnish. With the blocks in position, the template was repositioned and the bolting positions marked. By this time the engine bay was ready to receive the engine and i began to pray that the drawings had been right. With every thing finished I simply needed to see if the brand new engine would start up and run.

I need to admit, I did even turn the important thing to the 'Start' place for a second to see if the starter would flip over, it did. Using the same strategy of sliding the engine alongside a plank into the bay then tilting the plank to decrease the engine onto its ft it was soon in place. I had the great humoured companies of three employees to remove the engine from the pallet, dismantle, minimize down and rebuild the pallet 4 inches decrease than it had began off. We stored the engine bolted into its pallet till it was safely in the cockpit. Much scratching of heads followed, I was fairly ready to put the engine on it's facet however they would not hear of it. The one smart place to fit this was on the other facet of the engine bay to the inlet which meant routing the piping throughout the bay.

The throttle cable decided to trigger an issue by being set to push, whereas the engine needed it to pull. The only difference being that this engine could possibly be easily manhandled by two people. At the subsequent attempt the engine slid neatly into the boot and, having given the guys a big enough tip to purchase a number of pints of beer, I headed off for residence. Despite the brand new one having a tachometer it was designed to the identical dimension because the Volvo panel so fitted straight into the old gap with little or no further reducing required. The outdated one had been fitted into the gap underneath the companionway step and, quite than add to the amount of work required, I fitted the new one in the identical place. Much jigging of the thwartships place of the feet and the height of the legs eventually allowed the bolts on the shaft to slide with out pressure into the gearbox coupling. When the prop shaft was ready, it was slid into position and the half coupling fitted and bolted as tightly as attainable. Everything was then tightened up and the shaft slid in and out to ensure it nonetheless moved freely. The shaft was bolted to the gearbox coupling, I needed to 'guess' on the torque settings as there was no way to suit a torque wrench to the bolts.
