Astounding success! I really like the access to the impeller / water pump ! Edit - and…. Your alternator looks powerful!

Mock up of the lower half of the motor. Will have to create new aft brackets. Still need to fix:

Leaky lower Pintle rudder bolts.
Pull prop and replace but....
Also need to pull shift and inspect the stern tube. May have a bigger repair than expected.

Oh yeah and a new water intake setup.

Then maybe bring the motor down to the boat. I do get a little time off in September.
