Here is the photos of me re-powing my C&C30MK1. Some advise spread the load on the boom. Set a pallet in the cockpit. You will need to re-position the Engine on the boom before you head into the cabin. or to the dock if coming out. Get 2 short 4X6's for use in the cabin floor and set them on plywood or short 1/2X6 to help spread the weight. You will need to re-position the engine from that spot in the cabin floor just before the engine compartment for the set. Do not wast time trying to force it into the hole. The engine will go right in if you take off the starter and alternator along with the exhaust mixer in the back. The last thing is to get the engine hanging in some what the same angle as the engine stringers. It was a bitch trying to sit it level. I resetthe angle and it went right in. Here is the link to the setting photos of my engine. Thanks and good luck.
