Getting to grips with taking out the Farymann Hydraulic Engine and preparing for my Beta 14 to go in. I spent the day having a look over what I need to do, and i realise that I probably need a hiab/cherrypicker to help get the engine out/in. I also removed the hydraulic gearbox which came off easily enough albeit oil went everywhere. Beginning to wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew. I have found an engineer to put the new engine in, so makes sense to strip the old out, however I think that the drive shaft coupling will need sorted too as it’s looking a bit non-standard…
I also need to start on the foredeck repair – hoping there might be a passing Atalanta expert who might pop in…
foredeck
Area for fixing - cleat pulled through here - needs 3x2.5m and a new stringer underneath as well as a new toerail...

Need to dig out filler and scarf on a new piece - possibly within my talent level!- I confirm that I have rights to the material uploaded above and agree that the AOA may use this material on the website as defined in the website Terms and Conditions (see link in footer)
Steve – happy to offer advice, but looks as if you have bases covered………….

Steve, Probably best to ask Mike Dixon who designed and fitted a new engine, gearbox and propshaft set to A1. Slightly different, but the same principal.
