Timo, of the vessel NV, installs a new engine bed to accommodate a larger engine and sail drive. To ensure proper alignment, he centers the bed relative to the keel and rudder by using a string line marked with masking tape.3:21 He calculates the necessary clearance by comparing the old and new sail drive dimensions, ultimately grinding the hull and shaping the bed to increase the distance between the propeller blades and the hull from 20mm to 30mm.11:23 The installation requires precise cutting to fit the bed around existing bulkheads without compromising structural integrity.0:22 Timo reinforces the mounting area with multiple layers of 300-gram carbon fiber, totaling 1800 grams in critical sections, and uses peel ply to ensure a smooth, saturated finish.17:51 He corrects a dry spot in the layup by adding more epoxy before the final cure.19:40 The new foundation provides the necessary support for the heavier engine and ensures the sail drive remains centered.
