Propeller shaft tube removed

14032009207

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.
