Show us pics of your ...... engine bay

[robtheplod]

How about a series showing different parts of boats so people can get an idea of layouts and space etc?  Shall i start with the engine bay (back to front??). See below. It used to get wet but now the channels are clear it stays pretty dry and with the cover on when stored its unusual for it to get wet. Easy to get into both sides of the engine and service. My plans are to de-rust the bay and repaint in green or grey, not sure which yet....

Not the smartest in the world, but then I don't like things to look too pristine.

The starting board for my Dicky Mint single cylinder open crank 3 stroke treacle engine, with an Elm sump.

Open them in the wrong order and instead of the gentle thump of it firing at every glue sniffer, you'll end up with a Lyle's Golden Flan.

Is this a I'll show you mine if you show me yours kind of deal?  Regarding your painting... do green if you're just trying to match your boat colour... do light grey if you want to demonstrate how pristine your engine bay is after the work.

Now it's a hole where nothing can escape, not even light?

The only photo I can find in my computer's files of Trojan's engine room. I wonder if the engine looks as lovingly cared for now - it is six months since we set foot on the boat.

I like the bog roll conveniently placed (in the foreground) so that nothing ese gets dirty.....

It does look a bit like one, doesn't it? But in fact it's the top of a fliter.

I thought it was a traditional engine room with the photo taken sat on the porta potti.
