Help installing a vetus 11hp engine on our sabre 27

[luke]

We have been trying to fit this but just need some help and guidance, we have got it in place it just needs connecting up plumbing and electrical, also mounting holes drilled, we have very little tools as only have motorcycles,
Anyone know anyone to help we would gladly pay 
Thanks

Hi Luke I live really close to the yacht club so could lend a hand for an evening, have a drill and grinder but both wired so would need a generator. plumbing and electrics should be fairly easy! plenty of hand tools as well. Might not be as useful for guidance though

Thanks for your reply zeus, any help would be appreciated, we have got the engine in position just about, just unsure about drilling the holes as don't want to get it wrong and we don't have much knowledge on engines and fitting, the boat is up on the hard at the moment so power would not be a problem, do you have a couple of hours on the weekend by any chance
Thanks Luke

Hello Allen, yes it's that Luke haha, working this week but I will be down the club on the weekend working on the engine or trying to anyway haha

Thanks zeus for bringing your drill down on the weekend but it was not needed after, we took the engine barriers off and drilled holes in them in the yard workshop using the bench drill, the engine is now all ready to be mounted and lined up with the prop shaft,
very much a learning process as we have not done anyting like this before

glad to hear that you are making progress Luke.
