Thats just stupid!

Its at 25.5k currently. Someones not thinking long term!!!

At least you couldnt drop a spanner between them

True, but it looks like they thought of a few things like having the impellers on the front of the engines, although I can see an oil filter lurking at the back there.

This pair of Cummins 480 hp beasts in the Alnmaritec fast patrol boat 'Awsan' might not be as tight as Paul's Volvos, but they are probably not far behind......

More details of Awsan here at http://www.alnmaritec.co.uk/boats/all_boats90.html - scroll down a little ways.

I haven't got a picture of it, but a couple of years ago a mate repowered a 30' Bayliner (Motor-Yacht series) flybridge, with a couple of 200 hp Cummins/Mercruisers.
By the time the plastic covers were installed, the hatch was sitting up by about 5mm, with just enough sideways room to get your hand in.

On the first pic, changing a starter motor could be interesting.

At least there is enough space at the front to change belts/impellors - I've seen several boats where the front of the engine is right up against a bulkhead!

Looks interesting to service, but all im thinking at the minute is i would love to give them a good clean!!!!!

Pet hate dirty engines and engine bays especially on boats that are for sale.

The gas strut for the lid must be the only thing that stops them rattling against each other. Crazy!
