Brand New Beta Marine in Action

After three months working on the refit, here is finally the moment where we start the engine. All systems are installed, but since we are so late in the season, I preferred starting the engine from a makeshift tank rather than emptying the main tank before winter.

The engine started on the first start.

We still need to finish a few tasks, mostly assembling the rudder and installing the isolation panels, but this project is close to an end. I started the install at the end of July, so it took three months to get through.

I promise: next time, I will do it faster!

Hours after we received the battery cables, we fired up the engine.
