Re: Winter Project Begins
Always easier to install with the boat laying on its side...

Re: Winter Project Begins
Photography is not my thing! Spent the day removing the sound shield only to discover the base plate must come off from underneath. So, the plan is to loosen the anti vibration pads, lift the genny, slide the sound shield base plate out, then reattach the genny to the base. Surprised it was designed this way.

Re: Winter Project Begins
Thanks for sharing as you go. Are you leaving the shield off or is this just for installation purposes?

Re: Winter Project Begins
The sound shield has to come off to fit in the door and down the hatch. I first thought I could remove the outer shield and the base plate would come up over the genny. A few components were in the way and I removed them, but it is still just an inch or two too small to clear the genny...without removing a bunch more stuff.. so, it's easier to hoist it clear of the drip pan and remove the should shield base from underneath... just gotta remember to reinstall while it's on the hoist in the genny room!
