Today at lunch was prep for new transducer. Will work on the final installment Wednesday. Need to epoxy the hole tomorrow morning.

Sweet engine! Beta is the repower brand of choice around here, lots of happy customers!

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

70 amp. Should be fine.

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.
