The final version of the trim on the back end of the king plank. It will get white epoxy in the morning.
With the aid of the phone camera I could see under the sump and check the clearance.
Making good progress trimming the plywood edge of the deck on our Didi 40 Cr
With the cabin top edges trimmed the Didi 40 Cr is looking very finished
As I wound up activities yesterday I discovered the motor sump was sitting on the king plank that joins all the keel floors together. I had not trimmed the back edge as per the drawings. I was annoyed with myself for this so I timed how long it took to lift the motor and trim the timber. With the experience gained yesterday it took just fifteen minutes to lift the motor and 14 minutes to trim the edge of the king plank. Then the raw timber had to be sealed with wet on wet coats of epoxy and painted white with the epoxy primer. There is always a use for left over epoxy and primer so no time or materials were wasted. The only drawback was hitting my head on the support beams many times.
The rest of the day was spent trimming the excess plywood from the deck to hull join. The sound of the Makita blended in with the sound of the wood chippers cleaning up after last weekends storm.
That should have been the end of the story but when I put the engine back on the mounts the sump was still just touching the king plank. Version two was a more aggressive cut and a check of the clearance using the phone camera so now there is clearance.
