Bertram 33 removing the CAT 3208 engines (ep.6)

this video is small clips of removing the engines and fuel tank. video is pieced together and most of it was not recorded. just trying to keep the update videos going. bertram has been put on hold for a little while to finish a few more projects but some videos will be posted along the way until it is back in full swing

I just pulled today couple gears from 3208, it’s not a big thing if you can access the bottom bolts.

How are you going with the Updates? I have this same boat - a 1983 with Cat 3208 Diesels., but no Tuna Tower.

To be honest, we have not worked on it since this video. We expanded our business and have been beyond busy but plans are to start back on it this winter. I have been collecting parts along the way so hopefully more videos coming soon!

Well do you have any advice or tips you can share about how you did pull the motor I have the same boat and same issues also where are you located

I found that having 2 chain hoist so you could constantly adjust angle was the way to go. It will come out without removing transmission and etc. I didn't remove anything from the motors but it is tight. If using a crane like mine the boom has to sit all the way on engine due to clearance between cabin top and crane boom. One of the booms the marina uses might be easier but I just used what I had. It was a 10k truck crane. I'm based out of nc. If you have any issues, let me know and I'll do my best to help. Good luck with the removal.
