[Alberg30] Atlas' lever, and moving a diesel

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Lee,

If you decide to go with a 2-blade I have one available from my Alberg. It
was balanced and is perfect. I will let it go for a good price. I am in
Mass, so it could be dropped off at your location.

Stephen

My Alberg 30 Friends,

Stargazer arrived in Fairhaven, Mass in one piece yesterday. If anyone needs

a boat moved, I highly recommend Bayline Marine in New Bedford.  $980 from 
GlenCove, NY to Fairhaven, Mass, and very nice, professional guys. 508 994 
9244.

Stargazer needs a new cutlass bearing, and with the big three blade prop she

came with, the rudder is going to have to come off to get the shaft out.

But, the engine needs a new motor mount, and new fuel lines hooked up, so I 
am considering moving the engine to get the shaft out instead.

Has anyone moved their engine by themselves? Is the cabin top strong enough 
to hold the weight of the engine, if a beam is put across the companionway, 
and a block and tackle rigged from it to lift the engine?

Has anyone recently changed the cutlass bearing, and found any techniques 
that are an improvement over what is in the A30 maintainance manual?

Stargazer's volvo MD11 has sat for 4.5 years now, not having been run. It
has 
never been subjected to rain water all this time, fortunately, and the cabin

has been kept dry as my good friend Gary Schmitt has kept the cover on, and 
siphoned out any water that found its way to the bilge.  It turns over
easily 
by hand.  Any tips on things to particularly check or watch out for when I 
try to revive it?  The raccoon family that moved in two years ago only
chewed 
the sound proofing insulation inside the engine box, not any wires. They
were 
thoughtful raccoons!!  :)

I will be mounting one of the Tempo vertical fuel tanks in the stbd cockpit 
locker. Anyone done this; any specific tips there?

It's going to be a busy April, but man, is it great to be able to be getting

back to all this!!!!!!!!!

Thx,

Lee
