Girl Jean AH76 motor installed

Motor installation caused a ripple as I wanted to use a 540 type motor and maintain the propeller shaft near horizontal. The motor had to be installed upside down to get it as low as possible.  I tried out a standard type of fitting using mounting blocks but was concerned as they were too close to the motor and would affect cooling detrimentally. After alignment, the decision was to have the motor mounted suspended from the deck frames as shown. This will allow free passage of air around the motor casing. The rudder is shown on the right of the picture but will be correctly profiled before fitting.
