Flywheel is pretty rusted. May be hard to see.

So last one for today. I measured all the angles of the engine beds in relation to the floor. Right now I am sitting a little nose high on the hard. I am going to draw up a diagram and will post it here if anyone likes.

I do need to touch bases with Beta before pulling the engine. I am going to do it in sections once I start. I am also going to see if the high school wants it for a project in their automotive class. If not then I will see if anyone here would like bits & pieces.

I also have a brand new raw water pump in a bag. Was from my last boat (3gm30).

That engine install is going to be such an improvement! I had a much easier time measuring after my old engine was gone. I did support the prop shaft because mine dropped a bit when not coupled to the transmission. Everything was measured off of the prop shaft end height and angle. I used the standard feet and used some epoxy coated white oak blocks to go up and get the angle right. I wish I was 1/4" forward of where it ended up :lol:

I am giving Beta a call tomorrow to touch bases and ask a few questions. My aft engine beds angle is 10-degrees slopping aft. Prop shaft is the same. Current yanmar is basically the same depending on where I measure. Does the beta sit flat?

Shaft is free. Was very tight on the starboard side.

And a good place to stop. Engine is free - just need a hoist and a helper. AKA my 21 year old son.

So maybe a little redneck - but I'm from Florida and Louisiana.
