[StartQuote] Here are some photos of the engine compartment. For this design, the Navy required the engines to be mounted on a steel frame. In order to accommodate the engines, boat uses some sort of "v" drive. PT-3's engine compartment construction has a forward and aft steel bulkhead with engine hoist. Hull and deck framing is wood. Believe original engine deck access hatch is missing. Port replacement diesel and what looks to be the original drive - looking aft.
Stern engine room access added by former owner. Center fuel tank removed to allow this access.
Looking down into the bilge area of the aft bulkhead.
Looking forward at the engine room access. Wood door behind is the opened door to the head.
Starboard engine hoist (wood hull framing in background).
Starboard engine hoist looking forward. Engine compartment access hatch to the upper left.
Starboard side of engine room looking aft (aft bulkhead) with cables.
