George, and where are you going to put it? I only ask because I've just put a washing machine starboard and slight aft of the companion way steps (F40 CC too) - amazing what you can squeeze in when faced with prospect of more public Med landering!

Hi Ian,

I'm installing the Frankenmaker in the engine room, starboard side. It will be lined up port/starboard so that the pulley on the refrigeration pump lines up with the front pulley on the Perkins 4-108. This gives us some redundancy. I'll also ad an electric motor that I can put on a 24 hour timer in case we want to leave the boat in a marina and do some inland sight seeing.

In fact I've goofed off enough today and I need to walk down to the boat and get busy in that hole again... oh the itchy scratchies... I hate fiberglass (but I love it).

I'm very glad to hear about your washer as I've been trying to talk my wife into putting one right in that spot! I have tabled the "discussion" and I figure after three or four loads at $12 per load in the Abacos she might be ready to discuss options again. heh heh
