However...

due to a breakdown of the crane used to winch the engine in place, the engine is stuck two feet above the mountings until Monday :-(

Also,

Cant believe you allow people to work in the engine room with their boots on, just hope you make them wear overalls so that their clothes do not make your boat dirty :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
