Day:2 Ruff 'n' Tumble Repower: Engine Removed

Day:2 Ruff ’n’ Tumble Repower: Engine Removed After our late start dismantling yesterday, today commenced around 11am with the goal of hopefully getting the engine out of the boat and on the deck somewhere. There wasn’t too much left. Essentially the goal is to disconnect everything from the engine so its just sitting there. We had 2 major components left, the coupler and the forward engine mount bolts. The coupler is where the transmission has a plate where it bolts to a matching plate on the end of the propeller shaft. Yesterday we were able to remove 4 of the bolts but there is an adapter plate of sorts between the transmission and prop shaft so there were four more bolts to remove. The access wasn’t the most comfortable per say, but they came loose and I was even able to pull the bolts all the way out! Quite satisfyingly this left the transmission and the prop shaft to be able to turn independently, definitely disconnected.
