53 MY Repower, started!

Im not familiar with that model but most have a removable hatch above the engines.

the 1271 should not need to be removed for rebuilds but remember no one expected the boats to last as long as they did.

- Take up the saloon carpet, dismantle the galley and then cut holes through the floor.

Interesting.... are the engines under the galley in a galley up 58?

On the 61MY the engines are directly below the galley and galley saloon bulkhead.

Everything... fridge, oven, benchtops, aircons, bulkheads and the parquetry flooring would need to come out. Rear saloon/deck bulkhead needs to be removed as most models have a single door.

So, I've answered my own question... sideways through the hull is best option if not remodeling the kitchen and galley to open plan.

Whoa, that is good to know as it adds serious time (=$$$)

So here's the story on the 58.... Not only would the galley have to come out in the "galley salon arrangement"... the wheel house bench/wall has to come out in either version.....

And here's the story for the 53.... (ED shown....)
