Also keep all the pieces of the old engine you might be surprised at how much you might get for them.

Remove everything that was associated with the diesel engine that you can. Wiring, fuel lines?, muffler, hoses etc... It will never be as easy to remove after your EP system is installed.

So my appointment with the crane to vanquish the Diesel engine and begin the electric install is on Monday.

I plan to clean and paint the whole engine room. Any tips from those of you that have done the conversion on things to do in prep for the electric install or things you wish you had done when the engine room was empty?

Also, any advice on routing the AC ground wire? Previously it was attached to the Deisel and I assume grounded through the shaft and prop, I've seen conflicting advice about this.  Some say it's bad for the prop zincs?
