Engine starboard side

Almost entirely on the strength of Ralph's experience, Towser got Yanmar's next-generation 2-cylinder 14-HP 2YM15. This engine is shorter than an Atomic 4 so a Drivesaver flexible coupling (the red object) was added to stretch it. Note the shift cable looping down, over the cylindrical air cleaner and down to the transmission and the straight exhaust outlet (no custom fabrication was needed). The pictures show the installation before sound insulation was added on the underside of the cockpit. Other insulation was applied to the front, top and sides of the engine enclosure.
