Cleaning the bilge

22032009216
Space where the new engine will sit. Two of Volvo’s fastenings are still visible but will be removed. The engine bed needs to be modified since the old engine is 8 cm wider then the new one. The new engine bed will be longer since the thrust bearing will be istalled to the bed also.

A lot of old paint and stuff was removed with the hot air gun and scraper. It was a bit of work, since the bilge is 1 m deep. Some of the work I left to next weekend. Something to wait for! Behind the old paint was redish brown mahogany, still intact after 60 years. Good.
