Propeller shaft tube removed
Removed the shaft’s tube which goes thru the hull. It was sticking quite hard in the black stuff, but after heating it approx 20 min with a heat gun from the inside it started to move easily and I pulled it out. I removed also the rusted steel frame pair which is still sitting there in the picture.
Now I need to clean the bilge, glue new frames and modify the engine bed. There is still time.
