At that time a new Perkins engine panel was installed with all the new electric wire harness. A new timing bell was also installed. Oil and fuel filters were replaced. The support of the engine was adjusted and checked for alignment. The shaft is in good condition and is connected to a Martec 3 blade feathered propeller. The propeller was also checked and adjusted.
