1982 Catalina 30 Engine Replacement

[@swordguy8]

12 seconds into the video: "Ok, that's all I needed to know. Good luck on the removal!" It's a good video if strictly looking at hoisting, but doesn't show disconnection of the gearbox and other components. It's exactly what I was looking for.

We filmed what we could, but we needed the manpower for the job so I didn't get everything I'd like to. The engine is in and runs like a champ.

Hey brother! I am glad there is someone recent who has worked on a similar make of my Catalina 30. I my self have engine issue, and wanted to reach out to see if there’s a way to kinda get you on a call and get some tips/advice/suggestions on where I can get a trusted spot to fix and possibly anything else that you can help me out with! Thank you so much for sharing your journey , looking forward to hearing from you !

Looks Great!!! What was the engine overheating problem?

[@uncivilizedadventures]

Wow, just seeing this. Since you already know, for anyone else interested, mostly corrosion in elbow fittings, rubber hoses that needed to be replaced and a new impeller. Ended up rebuilding the water pump as well as cleaning out and replumbing the thermostat. It's an 11 horse champ now.

What brand , model LED lights did you install??They look great. Most LED lights have a blue color lamp which makes it look like a hospital ER room. . These are low temp (yellow) which I prefer. The low temp lights are hard to find in LED.
