The new and lower forward mounts are in. The clear span between them is only 1/2" wider than the engine. Tight. I glued the blocks in place with thickened epoxy and then added 15 layers of long tabbing on the top and four on the bottom. The paint is drying. Later in the week I will bolt the engine down. At that point lining up the Aquadrive and new shaft will not take long. Rebuilding the last foot of stern tube will require some time. The trim tab can go back in at that point, as well. I decided to go ahead and grind all the old barrier coat off the entire keel, set 6 oz cloth in epoxy and coat the whole thing out with four layers of epoxy. That will be the last I think about the keel, etc. I do hope this is the biggest sidetrack that I encounter.
