Hi Cam,
Fellow user suggested I PM you re a part I'm looking for for my restored 1966 B20. Can you come back to me so I can (I think that's how PMing works???).
Cheers,
Matt.

3.0 TKS oil leak
Hi all, Just got the recently restored B20 into the water and have an oil leak. Forums tell me this is most likely the timing cover - corrosion due to leaking water pump. Has anyone replaced one of these while motor is in the boat? It would break my spirit if the only answer is to remove the motor a...

Re: Bertram20 Restoration - Australia
But as Sod's Law would have it, ran her up to MAX WOT and sprang an oil leak. Looks like the timing cover issue - any suggestions most welcome.

Re: 3.0l TKS Front Engine Mount
Good question. Getting the bolts in and out is a pretty fine thing as it is and I need to be able to tighten them into place once the engine adjustment screw has been set. But it would add some serious strength to it I agree.

Re: 3.0l TKS Front Engine Mount
Thanks KTM, and yes the motor is sitting low but this is because I've got it resting on the cross member. The bracket we are engineering will sit on the cross member - the trick is to get its height right to allow for up and down travel of the front of the motor. I'll post a pic when we try it out. ...

Re: 3.0l TKS Front Engine Mount
70mm/2.75” it’s out by John. I’m going to see if the re engineered mount works first and if no joy will redo the X member. Hopefully this weekend.

3.0l TKS Front Engine Mount
So the Bertram 20 re-glass is finished. 3.0l TKS motor is back in but ....front mount cross member is too high to align motor to transom/gimbal bearing properly. Thinking of engineering a new front engine mount - anyone seen this done before or am I kidding myself?

Just started the floor and hull reno. project on my 1966 B20 CC (ex Bahia Mar). The hull cracked along the port girder on the way back from Rottnest last weekend.
