Booked a lorry with crane, that made it easy to get the engine out wile having the boat on land. I originally planned to do it in the water using the harbour's mast crane, but I chickened out, as I noticed that the saildrive might pop out as it would loose two of three supports... Below you see how I use wooden wedges to support the sail drive. So, now I know what the coupling looks like :)
A splined shaft. As I thought this coupling would be a standard item, I sold off the diesel (with the clutch-pad fitting the spline) on the internet within an hour (!) Took me a few weeks to find a solution for coupling the electric motor shaft to this splined shaft. Now I can get proper measurements so I can design a new motor fitting/jig to support the saildrive and hold the electric motor.
