We don't have the section where you have the inspection port for the hidden bilge so i think that that part has been cut away on judicious which still does not let you see into the hidden bilge although it does give access to put a small tube into suck most of any water out.

Bill,
On my blog I posted a photo of the fuel filter installation similar to your approach. I had to bring the filter inlet hose up thru the center as the stairs would pinch off the hose. My filter is a little higher to gain the 2 inches for easier replacement. The blog post also shows the mounts on Nordic Star. They look alot like the DF-2205-2 Engine Mount.
Regards,
Rob

I am moving my Yanmar rebuild website and the related pages with files and links I posted there since I'll be dropping the ISP it is hosted on. It is now incorporated into my Blog page with updated links available at the following:

Please let me know if you find any dead links to the old site as you browse through the forum and I will update them as needed. The links in my signature have already been updated.
