I removed the A4 from my boat a few years ago and it really wasn't that difficult of a process. If any of you remember Rick Crowe from this list (Crowe's Nest) I also helped him take his out. The most difficult part is disconnecting the exhaust flange. If you remove as many accessories as possible: the water pump, altenator, carb and gas pump, the engine isn't really that heavy and can be lifted easily by 3 guys. When I removed the A4 from my boat the yard owner lifted it out of the cabin with the travel lift, on Rick's boat we just picked it up and carried it.
Selling the A4 was one of the happiest days of my life. :-) ~Dan --- On Thu, 8/20/09, mykinchesapeek <[email protected]> wrote: From: mykinchesapeek <[email protected]> Subject: [IC27A] Re: Catalina 27 Atomic 4 Engine Removal To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, August 20, 2009, 9:34 AM First off, kudos to your neighbor for taking the time to record and post what he found to be a successful process. I'm actually talking about pulling mine for an overhaul this winter, so this IS something I've been looking at. I'd heard, however, that the way to do this was to use the main halyard. Any thoughts?
