Making some real progress, just kidding.

Have been working away with my reciprocating saw and multicrafter tool. As you can see it is real refined work.

Getting the pan out from under the engine is a bit of a chore. There is a battery cable clipped to its underside. There is also some other wiring that I am trying to avoid. At least I have removed the non functioning  float switch and figured out the triple bilge pump system.

Next trip down I will come better prepared to wallow in the bilge. I will finish removing the oil pan and rewire the bilge pump and clean things up in preparation for the installation of the yet to be built fuel tank.
