Boat in question C & C Landfall 40 with cracked oil pan.
At the first hint of Spring I went down to inspect how Shiraz had weathered the exceptionaly
cold winter - - -I should have stayed home. This bilge is about 4 ft deep and 15 + ft long - -it was completely filled with a solid block of ice and oil. I have now drained and cleaned the bilge and ready to remove the cracked pan and install new.
Has anyone gone through this service? Biggest ? is to completely remove the Yanmar 44 from the boat to have access to the entire engine or just raising the engine enuf to leave it in engine room and bend my body to access everything.
