Wow!,

       I'd love to hear more about your fuel tank replacement. Did you have an Aquadrive before you started, Your engine compartment looks different than my 87 P-42, did you expand the entire compartment? With your new engine how well are you able to access the raw water pump or did you add a Speedseal cover?  Can't wait for final pix.

                          Fair winds,

apologies for an insanely late response to this question. 

getting the fuel tanks out required me to remove the door to that little stowage area in the main stateroom. disconnect them from each other... slide one over, lift it, slide out, stand up, rotate, carry to the companionway and lift out. no cutting.. very straightforward. 

in terms of the engine compartment... the only thing i did was fix the fiberglass tabs to the forward bulkhead, and change the height of the engine mounts... no other change. in terms of accessing key engine domponents.. moving to the yanmar DRAMATICALLY improved the experience of accessing everything on the egine.
