Snow Gum has an engine with good access - Garcia Exploration 45

Paulo asked about engine access, in a comment to Snow Gum’s launching video. In this video I’ve removed only four of the eight or so hatches/doors/etc that allow good access to the engine. Importantly, this good access doesn’t take away from the engine’s sound insulation scheme, which works well. I remember back in 2018 visiting the owners of a new Garcia Exploration 45, listening to the engine noise and being impressed with how well it was suppressed. That memory was a significant factor in our choice of this yacht. A noisy engine can really take away from the enjoyment of sailing. Regards, Rick. p.s. speaking of noise, the buzzing noise you can hear in the background is our fuel polisher. The fuel in the port side tank is getting a scrub at the moment.
