Everyone met last night at PYC for a cookout to start the planning process. After a close examination of the engine in the boat, we think we have figured out the mechanics of removing the engine out of the boat. Luckily Capital Yachts designed this boat well, with excellent access to all sides of the engine.
We decided that next Friday, we will work to detach the engine from the boat. On Saturday, when there will be more people available, we will use the boom with the main sheet as a block & tackle to lift the 255 pound engine, move it forward into the galley and then lift out of the boat and swing it to a waiting cart. The most difficult part of the process may be getting the cart up from the docks to the parking lot. Luckily the river is pretty high at this time of the year, so it should be doable.
As we do this work, I plan to take lots of photos and post them here.
