Inboard Engine installation

[markmalta]

Hello guys and gals! I have a 12.5 feet Marine Ply boat. I would like to install an inboard engine in it, but has nothing ready in it! Does any body know anybody capable of installing from scratch with a good price? Also, what expenses am I looking at? The engine I am planning to buy is a 4 stroke air cool 5-6hp. Thanks!

Happy cruising

Fl` 2002, Magna Yanmar 3gmF fil-post u tahdem gietna xi 14.000 ewro, u x-xoghol kollox jien ghamilt (sodda, katusa, shaft, seals, prop, wiring, tank etc), Tmun kien hemm lest. Allahares ikollok tqabbad in-nies ghax zgur tigik izjed.

€ 14,000 euro?? jew € 1,400

Gaffer mill esperjenza tieghi jien kelli fregatina ta 14ft b yanmar aircool fuqa. Biex wahhalta kienu haduli xi € 200 euro imma ghamilt hafna xoghol jien.

Habib bejn wiehed u iehor stenna li ha tigik € 1,700 kollox gdid u suret in nies - ara li dak li tixtri ikolla xi forma ta alternator hali jkollok battery fuqha jkollok ftit dawl.

Importanti li meta jiffitjawlek ara li s silencer jinhadem b zewg pajpijiet halli ilma li jitla bix ikessah s silencer ma jingibidx fis cylinder head - jin gratli gietni €400 parts biex rrangajta - u amilta jin.

Ha ntik parir - B dawn l spejjez hawn 4 dghajjes bhalissa al biegh ta veru - l gimgha l ohra rajt wahda b volvo marine ghal biegh u immakulata. jekk tkun tiflah tistenna ghax xitwa ssib aktar.

Personalment kelli magna aircool meta kabbart u xtrajt kajjik b magni marine rajt differenza enormi. Spejjez bi spejjez, jekk magna marine tibza ghalija sservik ghomrok - magni aircool jahdmu bix xejn diesel veru imma stenna qabda storbju u iktar kont inbati spejjez biha milli b magna marine.
