I am tying up the last details from the outboard to inboard conversion. The Yanmar is in and happy. The outboard well is history and the hull is ready for paint.

Time to lose the corrector weight. If this is my corrector weight it measures 32 x 10 x 5. If I deduct the cut out for water flow I get 1456 cubic inches. At .41 lbs per cubic inch that is just south of 600 lbs. The Yanmar weighs 251 lbs. I cut out 100 lbs when I git rid of the outboard well so I have a net reduction of 450 lbs.

I have a few questions:
  • Am I looking at the corrector weight? (sorry the photo is upside down and I can't figure out how to sort it)
  • Does that sound right?
  • Is there a class minimum weight?
  • Should I be worried about helm?
