Day 10, 1/16, Install 63A alternator, take mast top detailed pictures. 0.5 Hour. ;-)

Alternator installation  Alternator mount was adopted to install on Yanmar 2qm20  Installed automotive 63A alternator. Idea is to leave it as is for now, later will take AC for tachometer and pull voltage control to prevent batteries overcharge during long engine run. LATER.     Pictures will be added later.  Mast top Made more or less high quality pictures of mast top , but forgot to switch ISO from 800 to 100, so pictures are not very sharp.      Better pictures added 5/3/22    

Day 6, 1/3, 6 hours, Generator, Clutch cable, Strip out ply from in the cabin

Installed "winter heater for engine compartment (200w LAMP with thermostat) Cleaned toilet from rotted wood, and open access to chain plates. Only cabinet door and drawers module are reusable.

Day 5, Some engine check, Sump and Bilge pumps, rid off of headliner, 7 hours

Welcome to marina.   Dock cleats for main docking lines.  Yes, now I can drop line.  Strings still tied to dock frame. Check - fit companion way vertical slides, two smaller need to be shortened for an inch. Nothing interesting to show now.   Run around motor,       confirmed it is 2QM20H - 86264      Installed air filter, with current fuel pipes configuration "nose" may look only on top.     Checked oil     Tried to check sensors, several openings:           a) Cooling water drain in front cylinder is little draining to bilge. WTF, i did not understand why water is collected in the bilge when I start motor.             b) "ignition switch" is not switching "ON" wire, actually swtich is ok, 12V is coming from somewhere to Red-Black wire. Need to figure out what is going. c) Open positive wires from battery!!!! kidding  just connection...
