Hi,
After years of abuse and keeping it on life support, my A4 finally decided
enough is enough. So now I need to remove it and put a replacement back
in. My budget didn't allow for going to a diesel but I have a rebuilt A4
coming from a person who rebuilds these as a hobby. He has a very good

I've had my A-4 out and back in twice since I bought the boat. In my
experience you're on the right track, some timber under the engine to
slide it forward under the companionway. My only addition was a chain

What do the mounts look like? Most engine mounts bolt down to a rail and
have a single stud pointing up that the engine slides down on. You may
find it easier to unbolt from the rail and slide the engine forward rather

Ian,
Last winter I pulled Anchovy’s A4 out. I built a cradle out of scrap 2X lumber
to slide the engine onto as it left the engine bay.

attached to the main halyard to lift and a block and tackle t
I am on A4 number 3. Take the manifold off starter off alternator off before
you start. Also analyze mounts. Mine come off the engine beds or you can lift
the engine up and over

Hi Ian,
I'm a bit late coming to this discussion, but all the advice already given
is quite accurate. I pulled and rebuilt my A4 in *Trillium* back in 2010,
and chronicled the whole experience in an article in Good Old Boat in the
January/February 2011 issue. I think you can get back issues on lin
