The parts that came out of the cockpit before my brother John could get to the water and fuel tanks to be able to remove them.

These water locks which were in the cockpit lockers are a part that was not in the boat when the engine were originally fitted. They are Volvo Penta water locks which are unlikely to have been fitted when Chance was built in 1948. 



The port side engine drip tray now out of the cockpit and now the bottom of the boat under the drip tray can be assessed 




The pile of floorboard bears and other parts which had to be removed to gain access to the tanks to remove them. Some of the parts will be reused if possible and other will be used as firewood.





The modern water locks are a lot lighter than these units
