This is Epilogue's main engine. It's a 1980 Perkins Diesel that is supposedly in excellent shape. We're prepping it for a new paint job and rebuilding the water pump and giving it a minor tune-up before giving it a test run in the garage. Lucky for me, Dan has extensive knowledge of diesel engines and is giving me a lesson as we go. It's not so intimidating when you know what is what. Marine diesel engines are really quite simple - and so ingenious.
Next week we're taking a bunch of old equipment from Dan's boat Augusta and Epilogue to the annual boater's swap meet at Fisheries Supply to see if we can sell off any old stuff that's not necessary.
We're also in the process of buying new portlights to install this summer. It's now time to start spending some real money.
