[Alberg30] engine bed?

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Tom,

I am not sure if this will help you. The people who installed the Yanmar
made metal brackets connected sheet stock. The brackets connect to the beds
on the boat and steel supports the motor mounts for the Yanmar. Who ever
performed this installation did a nice clean install.

George ... Thanks so much for your reply. I read the article with interest
but it appeared the engine mike was installing was closer fit then what I am
facing. I looks like I will need to come up about 2 1/4 inches for the front
mounts and perhaps cut away a bit for the rear mounts. The engine I removed
was a "Westerbeke 30" but I believe the original engine was probably the
A-4. The engine bed did really look to be altered but with no other boats to
check it against I can't say for sure. I do know that the steps had been
moved forward about 3" but since I had replaced the counter top above the
engine I was ok with this.

After very, very much deliberation, analiyzation, hesitation and
procrastination I finally bought the Kubota D1005E (25hp) which is marinized
by Phasor. When I am finished installing it and testing it I will let this
list know what I think.
