Sunken boat project.

Thinking ahead, when the boat is on the hard standing, I'll need to get an engine hoist in to remove the existing engine and mount the new one.

It's a gravel hard standing so I'll either need a Tele handler or I might be able to use my car engine hoist. I'll ask the yard to keep the boat as close to the ground as possible so I can get the height required.

I'll put the ventilation plate about 25-40 mm above the keel line as that's what my current boat works well with.

If I get too much ventilation I'll swap to a 4 blade prop.

A big list will be drawn up in the next week!

I decided that even if the existing engine ran, it will always be in the back of my mind that an electrical gremlin will raise its head.

Probably when I'm 12 miles offshore crossing Lyme bay en route to Torquay in May ..

If the dunked engine is a runner it's value increases significantly over a spares or repairs one.

Which will offset some of the new engine cost.

5 litres of Jizer fluid being procured to get the diesel smell reduced.

Fortunately, the cushions zip off the foam so I may use a commercial washing machine to clean them.

If the foam still reeks of diesel it's straightforward to cut new from the old templates

How did a petrol boat raised from the water smell of diesel ?
Or did I miss a post or two
 
You can get vinyl wrap in any design….what I suggest is getting your boat interior wrapped with a diesel spill pattern…..people will then say…that wrap is so realistic…you can actually smell the diesel !
