Update
We finally succeeded
in starting the engine. Actually it seems the diesel is in rather
good shape even after so many years. My next plan is to pull the engine
since I want to check the gear and the block paint. It seems the
skipper who operated this boat sat on the engine? The large
engine compartment takes almost 2/3 of the deck. There is no space
for my legs between the console and the engine. Should I remove the
console? The helm pump and engine control panel could be installed
into the cabin wall, but where should the engine control go? I don't
want to change the cabin though. There is enough work left! Any ideas
for the helm setup?
I also need to find a suitable hydraulic
steering for this 24footer, used preferably. A couple of large
galvanized cleats or bollards would suit her. Do you know where I could find a pair?
Thanks for your ideas
