Got the new motor from Al Holzer from Schooner Bay Marina, Bayfield, WI 54814. Well a fully refurbished motor. Looks and runs great. Nice to have it in finally. This was the right way to go. Had we gone to the Perkins or Westerbeke I think to many other modification would be needed. This slipped right in. Matching perfectly with the existing motor mounts.
Now we are on to patching the sails and getting the new instrumentation in. Slowly getting this sinker back on the open sea. We've got all the leaks done and new wiring and bilge pumps.
When we hauled out to install the motor we got new modules installed for depth temp and speed. As well bottom paint and got the survey done. All is coming together.
Looking forward to see how she sails. Gone With The Wind
