Engine removal - Cats

[TPG]

Does anyone have experience with the removal and installation of engines mounted under the rear beds in aft cabins on their cat?

Am looking at a Leopard that is due for a repower and both engines are mounted in the aft cabins. I am curious what the process involves getting the old ones out and new ones installed - I am guessing that it takes 2 strong guys to manhandle the engine up thru the companionway and salon out onto the deck.

Thoughts appreciated.

The Leopard 47PC has two large panels in the deck above the rear cabin beds. After you take down the headliner, the sealant is cut, the panels removed and the engines come out with a cherry-picker / crane. BTW, that’s also the only way the owner’s version fridge can get in.
