Default Spacious engine bay

Well, that might be slight exaggeration, but I plan to move the batteries in the 25 seacraft forward to under the cockpit sole (deck?). With that in process the changing of the alternator, the high pressure fuel lines, idler and belts was really easy on a 350 mercruiser. Kind of a nice surprise. The starter will be rather ugly, though. I am not sure if the 1971 25 footers originally came with twin 6 cylinder I/Os - that would explain the room.

There are plenty of other places that don't have space, but that one isn't bad.
