Via side window
I have replaced old Volvo Penta engines with dual new Nanni Kubota via side window. By tying the engine between the crane forks, we were able to fit them through the window without cutting the wood nor fiberglass. With Volvo engines the clearance was less than an inch. Kubota was less tall by 1.5 inches. No disassembly of the engines was necessary as my Island Gypsy 44 has pretty large windows.
