...and in with the new

Cory and his team got the new engine in, a little longer than expected because of an air leak in the fuel system, probably damaged in shipping.  Installation required moving the new engine in to place, making a bunch of measurements, then removing the engine and fabricating new engine mounts for it.  Install the mounts, then put the engine back in and hook up all the hoses and wires.

The engine mounts were perfect, there was no adjustments necessary for prop shaft angle.  Sea trial did show we needed a new propeller, this was not unexpected. The old one was pitched too high for the previous engine, which explains the overheating.

We got the boat to San Diego with the new engine,the new prop has been delivered, and we will get a diver to install it this week.
