I am getting help this weekend to move the generator from the starboard side to the port side of the boat. It is in the way of removing the starboard tanks. So the first thing to do is finish up as much work on the port side as possible. That means move the remaining fuel from the starboard side to new port tanks. The front tank has about 70 gallons and the new rear tank is empty. So that is where the rest of the starboard fuel is going. I plumbed the transfer pump into the cross over lines and fed the fuel into the regular return line to the tank. That way the fuel never had to leave the engine room.
You can also see that bought new sight gage hoses as the old ones had gotten quite yellowed. I do not have the sight gage holders back in place yet but I am certainly not finished on the port side. The big push right now is to the get the starboard tanks out for fabrication as soon as possible.
The generator is enclosed in a sound shield in the aft starboard part of the engine. The first job is the complete removal of the sound shield. It is constructed of a plywood box with sound deadening materials on the inside.
All the ‘things’ connected to the generator must be disconnected. Here is the water lift muffler.
Here is the cooling water intake filter.
Electrical box with the remote connection to the controls in the pilothouse. This is the point in a project where I take tons of pictures so I can get this all back together. Reassembling the port side of the boat reused a lot of the pictures taken month earlier. You cannot take too many pictures in this project.
The sounds shield off with most of the wiring exposed.
More connections.
