Alberg 37 - Engine installation (Betamarine 28)

Installing my engine back into place without the need to change the engine mount brackets. Turned out I was able to press the propeller shaft further into the flange and then simply cut the excess part off. And yes, I drilled new dimples for the 2 set screws into the shaft. Just in case someone is wondering about that. The flange and propeller shaft were brand new and therefore very tight. Without the help of my shop press it would not have been possible to get the shaft off or on the flange. So either way I had to pull the engine out, or at least up to clear the propeller shaft. The only way to get the shaft out is by pulling it towards the engine, after the propeller is removed, of course.
