Re Power my Ariel with an inboard diesel
I sailed my Pearson Ariel "Louise Michel" from Jamaica Bay, NYC to Miami, FL and then the Abacos in 2015. Now she is in Miami with me.
I did the whole trip on a Tohatsu 6HP long shaft.
Now I want to re power with a diesel, and I have read about diesel marine engines that are made to fit atomic four mounting points.
My prop shaft is still sticking out and spins fine...although I don't play with her as she is in the water and it begins to drip-drip if I spin the shaft.
Anyone have experience with this? I heard of a place near the FL panhandle.
$$$?
Thank you,
