The solution to our engine problem was to extend the bulkhead into the cabin in such a way that it would clear the rear of the cabin steps. It would also incorporate a large access hatch.
 |
| First cut a big hole... |
 |
| Next check the bit I cut out against the Sabb. |
 |
| I then made a cardboard template |
 |
| I designed it to follow the line of the cabin steps. |
 |
| Bruce then made it in steel. |
 |
| Welded into place. |
 |
| A drop of paint makes all the difference. |
 |
| Good access is now possible from the cabin. |
 |
| The extension makes it easy to change the alternator belts. |
 |
| Such a tight fit that the coupling is almost touching the stern gland! |
 |
| Home, sweet home! ;o) |
