Gen out, Engines out?

[markc]

Could the panels in your engine bay be dropped at all to give you standing headroom?

I guess so, although I'm kinda OK stooping there as I'm not as tall as you. I can remove the air filters to get better access to above the engines for the fuel filters that are in the V etc, but a lifting deck above would be a nice luxury!

Maybe youre right. I might check the outboard sides of my engines more often

One of the differences though is that on my boat the panels on which your lad is standing have been dropped a few inches as far down into the bilges as possible such that I can stand between the engines at 6' 1" tall.

good stuff,
we did the same in our ER many years ago, also in the UR, I can't emagine not having full standing hight there anymore,
as our engine room has become a real workshop.
I didn't realise that this was possible in these sleek ferretti's

Sleek? More like fat. Ferrettis are very broad in the beam which is what allows the standing headroom in the middle
