Well now you guys are just showing off
I understand - I tell people my ER is either going to kill me or keep me young - and the jury is still out!!I feel your pain. I'm 6'5", 260 lbs and old as dirt, with a bad back and bad knees. I'm in the engine room of my 440 convertible at least once a week, and it's killing me. My solution, I'm selling the boat. Can't do it any more.
Now thats a lot of room. Wish I had that with the twin 6.2's on the Rinker. Would have supported al320DA isnt so bad
Everyone should demand that kind of room on any boat. Why manufactures Squeeze them in to unmanageable areas for work is beyond me. I had that same dual set up on my Rinker but the bulk head was 12 inches from the serpentine system. One of the reasons I sold and went to the 270 DA. Lots of room. Easy to change out the IACs on those 6.2's!320DA isnt so bad.
You just picked a bad day to work on it, way too hot. We didn’t even go to marina, way too hot. Went to local bar, sat in ac drinking cold beer and watching old westerns. Too hot to be outside.This is exactly why I drove to the boat yesterday to do the work myself, I didn't have confidence in the marina based on my phone conversation with them. I had confidence in the mechanic who they kicked off the premises.
I'm learning a ton, which I enjoy, and it's fun fixing things, but man I'd rather be on the water.
Is that photo shopped? In 30 years I don’t think my wife has ever been in an engine compartment.Here's the stbd engine and yes, I have been on the outboard side of both and yes, I've changed the impellers on both engines.

Actually the heat was manageable. My body and todays cuts, bruises, aches and pain though...You just picked a bad day to work on it, way too hot. We didn’t even go to marina, way too hot. Went to local bar, sat in ac drinking cold beer and watching old westerns. Too hot to be outside.
Who said that was his wife?Is that photo shopped? In 30 years I don’t think my wife has ever been in an engine compartment.
6'3" 200lbs 56 years old here. Bad knees, shoulders, ankles (rolled one 6 weeks ago), elbows, fingers, the lists goes on. I have no idea how many times I bonked my head lifting it up in the engine compartment yesterday. I should wear a helmet.I feel your pain.

My dad owned a home inspection business. His hair was pretty thin on top. I can't tell you how many times he came home with blood running down his head from hitting it on roofing nails in the attic, or a crawl space, etc.6'3" 200lbs 56 years old here.

Easy answer - get a bigger air-conditioned engine room.
