When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
A clean and functional engine room.
Beta 43 propulsion, coupled with a hospital silencer to keep the decibels down whilst cruising the stunning British canal network.
Supports welded in for the customers spare Jerry cans and also his toolbox.
Forever improving with every build ☑️

So, so clean 😍
Looks awesome, I’d love to do what you guys do for a living and learn how to build boats properly.
That is tidy. I had BETA in our narrow beam. Was superb. 👍😁
Perfect, it’s the hidden details that say so much about the rest of the build. First Class 👍
Very neat and tidy! 👍
That is tidy! It's nice to see that there are still people around who take pride in their work. It's clear from the photo that that is so in this case. Nice job!
A company worth working FOR & WITH!! Love it !!
In my experience a visit down the engine 'ole is rarely done for pleasure, and the fact that it's clean, tidy and well organised may not solve the problem, but the fact you can get to everything and not get covrred in muck makes it so much easier ! I hate it when that awkward, fiddly nut slips from your fingers only to disappear into the gloom below! Love the easy access of the batteries.
Love that engine 🙂
Hmm Batteries should always be kept cool. Then why put them in an engine room. Don't say there isn't room elsewhere. Design it right from the start. There are many tables on the Internet that show how the battery life is shortened with each degree of temperature increase
It looks good. Keep it tidy keep it clean!👍
Hi, can I ask about the clear hoses to the skin tanks? PVC hose is normally rated to 60 or 65 degrees centigrade, but engine coolant typically runs around 90 degrees. Am I missing something?
Wow! Just like every engine room I never had!
Beautiful! Tnx for posting.
Good use of space to store tools and spare fuel.
Could I ask, please, what exactly is a ‘hospital silencer’?
Nice and neat and a fantastic Kubota engine
Nice job 👍 #sailingpopeye
This is my engine room and all I can say is wow thank you Swan Boat Builders
Last engine room I built.
How every engine room should look. Uncluttered and neat with attention to detail 😍 Regimented cable tie spacing is a must 👌
That wiring 🥰😍😍
For how long?
Wow! Clean.
Clean

you make rather beautiful boats.
After speaking to a boat safety inspector I would have a boat safety inspection before taking delivery as some boat builders are a little unreliable
Any more pics of this beautiful boat ?
