hey all,
Questions - My engine bed needs replacing, on 1988 20 open , was in the boat measuring engine mounts and depth of the oil pan so I can build a dolly for it and am curious if the engine can be removed with the engine mounts attached. It appears the the engine would need to be tilted as the mounts are wider than the deck opening.
or did you have to disasseble the mounts before lifting the engine out?
I have never done this before so need some help/pointers.
1) for those of you that have removed engines did you build a dolly? I was thinking to use some 2 x 8 (triple) I have for the the bed to support the engine mounts and some 2 x 6 (double or triple) as cross member and put some wheels on them. I was thinking some knee braces on the outside of the 2 x 8s.. Anyone have some suggestions?
2) how many lifting lugs on the engine did you use? There are 2 eye bolts already there.
regards
