With the bottom repaired and painted, the engine ready for final installation, I’m feeling a lot closer to the end of the refit. All the remaining jobs won’t have me crouched in an engine bay.
@@Even_Keeled If you want to know about crouched, wait until you do the electrics! The engine bay is your starter course! 😅 Big alternator was a very good choice.
If you have a water heater aboard, be sure to flush it thoroughly before attaching it to your new engine. I did not and as a result filled my new Yanmar engine heat exchanger with rust. Best of luck. Harry Hungate -west-about world circumnavigation 1997-2013.

Awesome work!!
Great products! More painting to come!
Can't beat a Beta Marine engine for price and reliability !!
Sure can’t. It’s upgraded with an 120 amp alternator and as a 38, a little more power than other options that go into a Westsail 32.
Nice !!@@Even_Keeled

Great tip. I don’t have one, but I’ve had to thoroughly inspect the diesel tank out of similar concerns. Could not risk it. All clear.
