Repowering Question

[attitudeadjust]

I am repowering (Coronado 35) for the 2nd time. I am planning on motoring down to the marina, having the new engine lowered into the salon, motoring home then swapping the engines. My question is should I be concerned about 2 engine's worth of weight in the salon. I'll be using 4x4's to slide the engines around and to displace the weight over the floor. Thanks in advance.

Me too, I would appreciate collaborating with you and your progress.

Thank you

if you are concerned about the floor just put a section of 3/4 plywood down on top of the sole and that will be plenty of reinforcement to help support the load...

It won't be a problem. An engine weighs about the same as two to three average sized people. I'm sure you've had more than that many people standing in your cabin at the same time.
