Installing the Engine

Our engine arrived some time ago, and was promptly put into the boat, just to see how it looked.

P1000862 with comments — Engine Room Fitted

The photo to the left shows the engine room, now fitted with the other equipment. There’s still a bit of work to go: installing the electrics, fuel lines, exhaust, water, etc. (The big black hose you can see isn’t really meant to be there – I was too lazy to take it out of the photo.) The photo is taken from the aft cabin, looking forward. Eventually, the engine room will be hidden and sound-proofed behind timber panelling. Entry will be down through the pilothouse.

Sonja’s pride and joy is the folding propellor.
