Re: My F32 Repower
Allen is correct. I need them to work...and I need reliability. Otherwise, I would have those black engines.

Re: My F32 Repower
Been a while as I haven't had time to update.
This is the new port engine, mostly assembled. Was originally RW cooled but I converted to FW cooled to match the starboard engine. All hydraulic and cooling hoses were replaced. I also replaced a few gaskets and seals in my transmissions while they were out.

This is the port engine's first run on the crate at my shop. I ran out of time to run starboard engine before I had them craned back into boat. (Just click on following link below)

Had the hull detailed, bottom painted and my friend repainted my boot stripe. So for now, it sits back in my slip, waiting for me to get back down and finish hooking all up. Pulled taff rail to refinish.

The engines are resting peacefully until they are hooked back up and fired up.

Will post an update after first run.
