Engine update

The engine on it’s “faux” beds. This is very close to the final location. Blue tape indicates the first go around for systems layout. We are awaiting the AquaDrive and a stuffing box for the final fit. Then bronze engine beds will be created to bear the load.

Since the thrust from the propellor will be absorbed by a thrust plate, the engine will live on soft mounts. This will help quiet it down.

The space above and to the right of the transmission may be used for a 2 burner stove, or for the sink if an oven is desired (it would need to be installed where the sink is now).
