This blog began in late 2006 with the planning and preparation for a circumnavigation of the world in my 39-foot sail boat Pachuca. It then covered a successful 5-year circumnavigation that ended in April 2013. The blog now covers life with Pachuca back home in Australia.

Engine Preparation
Mark asked me if I wanted the engine set up for hot water taps and I said Yes. It will give me the option of setting up a hot water system on Pachuca later or, less likely, a cabin heater.
He has also rotated the gear lever clockwise 90 degrees so that the cable will pull from above and not behind. This will eliminate possible problems with the shifting mechanism being too close to the aft bulkhead.
The photo shows how the cable will pass down through the vertical support to the lever, marked "fwd". Note the adjustable engine mount at the right and the 8 degree tilt of the shaft coupling at the left.
