[Alberg30] Engine removal

[James Davis]

Personnaly I prefer to use a 4x4 across the companionway.  It is a lot stronger than the halyard, and I would hate to have the Atomic 4 crash into the cabin sole.

I place the 4x4 across the open hatch and hook the comealong top the 4x4.  After the engine is out and sitting in the cabin (on an old rug), strip everything you can off it.  Then two block the comealong and with 4 friends simply lift it out and sit it in the cockpit.  If the boat is alongside a pier - just walk it ashore.  If the boat is on the hard, have the yard use a crane to get it from the cockpit to the ground.  For ease in carying, the 4x4 should be about 8 feet long.
