Good morning Tomaz, Thank you for feedback. My oil pan is very rusted because of a leaking oil cooler, sea water pump and there is no bilge pump in the engine bay. This boat was very neglected. I bought it in October from Sicily. The engine runs well having only 850 hrs. So you suggest I even disconnect the reverse gear (gearbox) before getting the engine out? Yes, would appreciate the link for the engine mounts. They are still good but rusted.

If you have 200hp engine, removal of gearbox is a must.. My oil pan looked very bad but at the end I think that it was far from starting to leak. So I have done grinding and painting of it and now I have it as a spare if someone need it. Later I discovered rain ingress as reason for rusted oil pan. About mounts, the new one will result as less vibrations.
When you will assemble the shaft again, you will have to do the adjustment of the mount bolts.
If you are a strong man, you can do the gearbox without crane.

Hi,
Finished with the access holes. There is the third one as well, but not seen on the photo.
Btw, any suggestion which gas cylinder to use to get the maximum? I have tried with 2kg, but it is was too high to fit.
Also, I'm considering to put automatic bilge pump. At the moment, I have electric and manual as part of the equipment from the day one. Any advices how to do it? Is it possible to just add float switch to the original electric bilge pump and connect it to the power supply?

Well done on fitting the access hatches. How did you get to the bolts on the forward side of the tank, the ones that fix the tank to the hull?

In 760, it really isn't any good places for floating switch. I did it like Plum with level switch from washing maschine and relay..

The only one that fits my gas locker is the Camping Gaz 904 cylinder 1.8Kg. I keep a second one in the foredeck anchor locker (which is self-draining) in a sealed plastic container.

I also use the only one that fits
, but I am also considering to fit adapter for MSF1a 247g cans. 24 cans are cheaper than 1 refill of the bottle. And I can get them everywhere while for 904 I must visit Italy.tomaz_slo

Interesting. Thanks. So do you screw the regulator from the Camping Gaz bottle into the top? What sort of can goes into the bottom, this type? Do these all have the same connection? Amazon.co.uk
Would you post a link to that adapter, please. Can't find it.

Hope the link works.. It's for MSF-1a 227gr cartridges. And Campingaz regulator on the top. They are cheap.

Thank you. Excellent info. I can buy 8 of those cartridges which contain the same weight of butane as a Camping Gaz 904 exchange bottle for half the price.

This is very helpful. I resorted last year to asking a couple of friends to get me 904s from France as no-one sells those sizes in the Channel Islands anymore.
Will order one of the adapters for when my stash runs out and use the smaller cans instead.
Thanks!

Well done on the engine out and the oil pan replacement Tomaz... I have a feeling that I should plan to do mine in the next few years (boat is 2005)...
Also why did you need so many bolts on the fuel tank hatches? Looks safe but just curious.

Only these two bolts holds the tank in my case and both have hole next to it. Hope this helps.

Not an expert, but usually diesel tank inspection hatches have a lot of bolts. I guess it is to prevent any leaks and to preserve a structure.

And if you remove the black piece and valve from adapter, I think you can use also EN417 cans...

Have a question about barbotin on LS winch. Now I have 10mm and 25m of chain+rope. I never use the rope, so the best for me would be 50m of chain. But I am afraid that is to heavy for boat's bow. Any of you have 50m of 10mm chain? I think the 8mm barbotin for LS wasn't available at all.

I do not know the word "barbotin". 50m of 10mm chain will weigh 110kg compared with 55kg for your existing (plus weight of rope) so add bags of sand of 55kg in the anchor locker and see if you notice any difference in a rough sea. Why are you using 10mm chain? 8mm is perfectly adequate. 50m of 8mm chain will weigh not much more than your 25m of 10mm including the rope. 6mm high tensile chain will be strong enough.
