Engine change

After the ignition problem, the service engineer determined that the engine had insufficient compression on 2 of the 3 cylinders. Since I had a general engine service 2 years ago, I was not looking to take the engine apart again.

The decision has been made and I am replacing the MD2030 and sail drive MS25 with a new D1-30 and a 130S.

We have agreed with the service engineer that we will unscrew the old engine and take it to shore and put the new engine on the boat. After that, the crane will take the Bavaria 36 out to dry land and the repairman will take the old sail drive out and install the new engine and new sail drive.

I am working out a strategy for pulling the old engine out and transferring the new engine from the dock to the boat. The service engineer's advice is that it is easier to take the engine out to the dock while the boat is in the sea than when it is high up on a stand in dry dock. Does anyone have experience with this process? There are two of us, what would you advise me.
