Fitting an Inboard Diesel
Fitting a Yanmar 1GM10 single-cylinder diesel engine to a late mk2 bilge-keel Corribee - some details including drawings and photos. The installation details include the fitting of the propellor shaft and tube, along with a Halyard Aquadrive flexible drive coupling.

When the engine mounts are attached, their underside is on the same level as the centreline of the gearbox output shaft. This means that the height of the engine beds is in the same plane as the drive shaft.

The Aquadrive can accomodate an angular change in the drive line. More importantly for a small boat such as the Corribee is that the vibration is not transmitted to the prop shaft and thence to the hull, meaning that the installation is quieter and imposes less stress on the hull moulding.
