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
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

platform to cover the cabin sole so as not to scratch it. I used a chain fall
attached to the main halyard to lift and a block and tackle t

Consider a fresh water cooling kit. What is the guy replacing on the rebuilt
engine? Coil, rebuilding carb, fuel pump? When I was looking for any A4
replacement for my Viking there were a few people offering "rebuilt" engines
but, all they were doing was wire brushing and spray painting them
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
than unbolt the vertical stud and try to lift it off. Be sure to mark

Ian,
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
fall hung from a 4x4 over the companionway to take most of the weight
and to
While you are in the engine compartment check your stuffing box hose, Muffler,
