Remove/Replace Engine Carver 374 Voyager

Postby sharkdaddy » April 24th, 2018, 6:41 am

Does anybody have experience with removing engines from a Carver 374 Voyager? My starboard engine (Cummins 6BTA 5.9 M2 370 HP) aft-most cylinder is cooked. Need to remove the engine and either rebuild or replace the block.

Looks like I will need to strip it down to the block. The hatch is large enough to pull out the block. The aft entry doors are large enough/can be removed. But the distance from the cockpit to the engines is pretty large (about 10 ft) plus the salon floor is two steps up at the lower helm.

Not sure if a fork-lift / I-beam hoist can reach in and lift the engine out or if I need to set up a lift frame with an arm. I believe we're talking about 1000 lbs of weight or so.

Anybody who has experience pulling an engine on this model - your advice would be very much appreciated!
