Help installing a vetus 11hp engine on our sabre 27

[luke1000123]

We have been trying to fit this but just need some help and guidance, we have got it in place it just needs connecting up plumbing and electrical, also mounting holes drilled, we have very little tools as only have motorcycles,
Anyone know anyone to help we would gladly pay
Thanks

Sounds rather expensive. Have you tried a quote from a local marine engineer?

Are you a member of a club? Many clubs have people willing to help in exchange for a few beers!

Where's the boat?

I am a member of Cardiff yacht club and the boat is on the hard there

I'm near Tiverton so sadly a bit too far to commute!

Ok thanks anyway

Are you still looking? I used a local guy who installed a new Beta 12 into Temujin a couple of years ago. A few people from our club have used him, he does a very good job and is good value. I can track down his details later if you need.

Yes please that would be very helpful thanks Luke

Thanks Adrian, I did give him a ring but it turns out he is a little to far away and is going to charge £50 just to travel to the club

I would guess that's a fraction of the costs to fit this engine properly. Why not call into Wigmore Wright in Penarth for a proper quote which will probably put things in context.

 

[luke1000123]

I have done and yes they are really expensive, think we will get Steve down after all thanks for the information
