Mike,

That looks great and it's pretty much what I had in mind for Sirocco, if I can ever get that big gas tank out. I had also thought of mounting a small diesel tank in the laz, but I haven't thought it out and don't really think I'd like it. Here is a picture of my engine bay right after the A-4 was pulled and I'd scrubbed a bit. You can see the gas tank to the left of the prop shaft. I also notice that your port cabin drain runs through a straight thru fitting that looks like it would accommodate a hose from a galley sink. Take a look at mine, which is a seacock that I can't open. I pulled the hoses and about a quart of rank, vile water spilled all over me. Gotta try to figure what to do what that thing too.

A pic of my outboard engine compartment filled in and the new propeller. I plan on painting the bottom of the boat just before I put it back in the water.

Nice looking work there, Mike!

Thanks Kurt. Here's some more fuel tank pics.

Mike, I just saw this. Gorgeous work. What is attached above the fuel tank on the last picture?

That's the fuel fill inlet, it came with a orange plug from the factory. I'll remove the plug and run a fill hose from a deck mounted stainless fill connector.

Mike

I have to agree your work looks well thought out and executed. Keep up the good work.

Have to agree with Jon and Jerry on this one, Mike. Nice stuff going on there. I wonder if Jon was refering to the 'c' shaped clamp(?) by the bilge pump. If not, I'm gonna ask about it...

That "c" shape item was for the handle for the bilge pump, it sits in there for storage.

I just installed a Vetus Sisco engine control unit and the Renault control panel.

mikeroth · August 23, 2010, 07:06:58 PM

Everything is hooked up and ready to go. I got the little Renault running today. She purrs like a kitten. I will lunch this week.

Went sailing last week, we had some gusts to 27 knots. I need to get my sewing machine out again, ripped the head sail a bit.
