Fjordling 17 inboard to outboard conversion

Inlägg av FjordlingNL »

Hi fellow Fjord owners! I'm from the Netherlands and new to this forum. I bought a Fjordling 17 recently, a real bargain which I couldn't resistent 8). She had an inboard engine installed but bought it without it. Now making preperations for an inboard to outboard conversion. First I have to check if the transom is still good, dry and not rotten. Also have to check if the foam under the floor is dry.

Anyone who knows where to find info on a Fjordling 17 inboard to outboard conversion? Are there people on this forum who have done it?

Hi,

Normally you have to make new knees and reinforce the transom to be able to hang an outboard on your Fjordling.
There is another problem also, do you have the tunnel on your boat? If not converting to a lightweight outboard will make the boat will unsteady and stagger/rock easly.

More info maybe found on Fjordling Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/123406797688719/
