Hey John, Tim here I still owe you that cable which I have. It's been crazy here I have one guy out with a injury. It's a 36 Calvin 6090SFM Deere 550hp

 

[WoundUpMarine]

Hey Tim, thought that was you. No rush on the cable, I rounded up an laptop with XP so ill be able to run the program. Great looking repower, and tanks for the haul down, the boats coming along great, still looking forward to a june 1st launch! Oh yeah, i gotta give ya a call next week, Im gonna be looking for some filters and a raw water pump impeller.

All lined up. Just have to fab and install transmission mounts we do six point mounting on all our installs unless it's impossible. Going to install hauler pumps this afternoon.

Aligning hauler pump

Interesting; I wonder how many people do six point mounting on their engine installs. You don't see it down here so much. Is that a common through hull/valve between the engine and hauler. If so, a seacock would be better.

Do you have any pictures of what had to be "cut out" of the deck and helm bulkhead to drop the monster in ??

 

[Dslpwr]

The original finisher put that ball valve in they scare me and my insurance company to death! We only use seacocks here and most customers want to go the cheap route but they have to install it theirselves. As far as the 6 point mounting we hate to take a red gear off and have to suspend the engine some how and not mounting the red gear is a no-no. Good for business but still a no-no

 

[petrel]

I mean most of the boats I look at have two mounts on the engine and two on the clutch.

Bill no cutting required just removed the heat exchanger and ZF oil pump. Had to put in on a 45 deg angle nose first the drop the rear down. This motor is a little one compared to a 16lt Scaina or C18 cat

 

[Dslpwr]

I kno what you mean it just makes things easier and safer, especaily if we are on the water removing the gear.

OK, nose in .
