[Public-List] Engine change on 'Beowulf' #488

[Bob Norway]

I'm 64 this month and did most of the work myself. Had some help getting the
old engine out and the new one down into the cabin sole. After that using
the 4x4 and the chain lift allowed me to move the engine back and forth,
onto and off the mounts as needed without help. Which was good as there
isn't that much room down there....LOL.

Once you've got the old one out of the cabin, then getting it up and off the
boat is where help is needed as with getting the new one back down into the
cabin.

And yes, the Albergs are very stout. They weren't chintzy on using
fiberglass back then.

Cheers,
Bongo Bob Norway

I read your post with interest.
I'm considering an Alberg 30. One concern is how to change an engine if
necessary to make sure that I'd be able to cruise from Oriental, NC to
Mystic CT.

I'm nearly 70 and haven't really sailed in 50 years.  The Alberg seems to be
a stout craft and I like the cost figures.
