While I was goofing off at the Boat Show, Jim E was busy. He was also responsible for Casper's new coat of paint. The conversation went as follows;
Jim E.: What color do you plan to paint your engine?
Me: I hadn't given in much thought but I was considering white Awlgrip.
Jim E.: Good because that's the color I've painted it.
Me: What would you have done if I had said red.
Jim E.: I'd have told you that you made a bad decision.
Me: OK.

Are your referring to what looks like the "drip pan" between the four base mounts?
I presume the Casper's footprint matches the blocks? No need to move them?
looks good.
Thanks RJ, could not remember the correct term.
On initial measurements the mounts look like a close match.
Your engine mounts appear to be level. The ones for the Volvo MD30 that was in Ocean Dove had a 3" height difference between the fwd & aft mounts. I made up a fake engine of wood with the flex engine mounts so I could vision how it would fit.
Have you picked a gearbox yet?

No gearbox yet. Its going to be a ZF25 but I need to check if I need the 8deg down model. Any suggestions?
I would go with ZF25 with the 8 degree so your engine will be level.
It maybe hard to find a well priced used gear box.
Cheers
Derek
