Hello all,
I just purchased a 1979 42 Californian LRC, great boat and I’m super excited. I’m going through the motions of getting her ship shape. I have new engine mounts for the CAT3208 NA’s as they have sagged over the years. I’m planning on using some blocks and 1/4” plate to make a flat surface/spread the load on the hull and jack the engines up up one end at a time. I plan on having all the hardware clean and lose before attempting to lift the engine. I also intend on separating shaft from the engine prior. Anyone completed a similar task?
Thanks,
Matt
