Hi guys,
has anyone removed an engine from Mainship 430?
Marina people here have no idea how to do this.
removing the door and cover gives me 29" of horizontal clearance and the engine mounts are 28" so that fit straight back, but because the engine is not in the middle, the door opening is too small for a boom to go on an angle![Banghead :banghead: :banghead:](https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/images/trawler/smilies/sk/banghead.gif)
also, it seems like there is not enough height for the engine and hoist under the boom to clear the opening vertically.
If you have done this before, I'd appreciate some advice and pictures.
Thank you
