The situation is two heavy engines on a bracket without any builtin floatation. Of course any bracket floatation would only help at rest. If you examine my post on ESTIMATING CG SHIFT of 9-24-16, you may be able to guesstimate the current cg relative to what it was originally and also how relocation of oil tanks and batteries would help. As Bushwacker mentions you can use this method and temporary positioning of weight to test the effects. Unfortunately don’t think many guys take the time to use a little math and science to reduce their effort and expense.
