Thanks to Tampa Builder's Group

Just want to thank the Tampa Group for their Illustrated Guide to Engine Hanging. Using their instructions I just hung my engine in half an hour all by myself. They actually advise against the solo thing, but I did have people in the house if I needed them. It's kinda spooky when something goes this smoothly.

Great Steve,
You did put the small hard rubber mounts on the lower forward side and the upper rear didn't you?

They're easy to get wrong.

Regards,
Pierre

What is this Tampa Builders' Group and where can I find out more? I'm still a year or two away from beginning my own project, but I'd love to meet some local RV folks.

What rubber mounts?? Just kidding

. You're right, the arrangement is a bit confusing but I triple checked it and all is correct. Thanks.

When I did mine,I very carefully put all the rubber pieces in the right spot and installed everything before my helpers left. Then I discovered that the upper and lower bolts were slightly different lengths and - you guessed it - I had them reversed....fortunately, changing them by myself was not a big deal, as I had one extra bolt the right length to hold things together as I played "Chinese puzzle squares..."

So Steve....goit the bolts in the right spot?
