Engine is out after some sweating although the temperature was -8C. I managed to lower the engine to the ground without any scratches to the hull.
Now I need to clean the engine compartment of left-over cables and hoses and start to plan how Yanmar will sit there.
Today the engine moved in the boat one meter up and two backwards. At least now it feels that the worst part is over.
I used the main boom, blocks and rope to move it. Was a little bit of a struggle but now it is out. Now it needs to be lifted up some more and then sideways (what a great movie!) two meters and three meters down to the ground. Tomorrow I need to clean the bilge under the engine of some oil and plan how to do the final lift to get the engine to the ground.
I have removed all “easily” removable parts of the engine items being flywheel, starter, generator, cylinders, heat exhanger and the clutch. Weight is somewhere around 120 kg so it should be quite easy to move around. It has already moved approx 1 m forward. Next it should be lifted up about one meter and then backwards.
Propeller shaft needs to be changed, I should go to Helsinki boat show to check the different possibilities.
