New Engine

Installing the new engine was a tense affair. Suspended from a crane and being lowered toward the companionway it looked like the quarter ton, Beta Marine 60 hp engine wouldn't fit through the opening. Manhandling the heavy piece of machinery, with considerable risk of losing a finger, finally saw it wriggled in. A brilliant flash of light surprised everyone when a mains light bulb was knocked and exploded as the engine descended inside the boat.
