I like this new format where you talk and explain stuff, And I know this is a very long term project but I cant wait to see it all done and I'll keep watching either way.
Im retrofitting a yanmar 1gm-10 into a Halman 20 which looks like a baby Westsail 32. It didn’t have factory inboard only an outboard bracket, but Ive fabricated a steel alignment jig so i can glass in stringers like yours and then steel cradle to match my 1GM-10 mounts and also align new shaft-log (soon to be glassed in) You’re last two videos are helping me out because its a big project/easy to screw up…double enders are sensitive to weight too much stern weight will change engine driveshaft axis causing engine problems. Thanks for the great videos i need to do the same
Thanks! I’m glad they were helpful. I’m about to post the final video, part 3, which is where I use the jig the most. Like you will find, the jig helps have the shaft centered inside the stern tube with minor adjustments to the engine’s mounts required. Good luck with your project.
@@MonstroLab thanks. It’s looking even better now that it’s all been sanded and painted. Will have the video finished soon. Seacocks are next. Everything new when it comes to the engine room.
Great update! Looking forward to seeing that engine bay cleaned up. Good opportunity to do a little planning and reglass in some better shelving and tidy up the routing of hoses/wires.
Jig build is not recorded. If it matters, the jig matches the diagram from the Beta manual. Since the engine pan in a Westsail didn't match the new Beta requirements, the jib enabled me to grind down the pan edges to fit the aluminum plates and align the location of the Beta's engine mounts.
You can make it on your own using the engine diagram specific to your boat. These details should also be provided by the engine manufacturer. For the Westsail, I was able to additionally use the engine bay diagrams in the parts manual available online.
