Repowering Vancouver 32 with a Beta 20 - from a Bukh DV20


I will be installing a Beta 20 in my Vancouver 32 sailboat "Rincewind" in June (2018). I removed the old Bukh DV20 last summer. Has anyone done an install in a Vancouver 32? Please let me know. I may have questions -

Hello Capt B,

Some years ago someone replaced his Bukh DV20 with a Beta 16 in his Vancouver 27. This was done at a local boatyard and I saw the installation. He needed the Albin Vega mounts which are 16" on center but otherwise there was nothing that unusual with the project.
Your engine compartment looks really good and almost ready to accept the new engine once the old shaft coupling has been removed.

thanks for that info - since my boat is in Newfoundland, Canada, and I live in Maryland, USA, I didn't have time to order and install a new engine once I determined that I needed one last summer. That gave me lots of time to get the boat ready - new exhaust system, new water thru-hull, and a nice, clean engine area.
