Removal of Westerbeke 4.5

[rdevans]

I have a 1999 340 Sundancer with V-Drives. I am interested in removing the Generator to do a rebuild/refurbish this off season. Can anyone tell me specifically what needs to be removed to make room so the generator can be lifted out?

Just remove you riser and elbow on your starboard engine. Take many pictures of the electrical connections. Pull the pin on your hatch, and tie it straight up. I used a jetski hoist to pull it out...

Anyone else have some experience with this??

Here's how I did it...

I am also interested in the details of how much you had to disassemble to get it out of there.
