Jig takes the headache out of engine installations
Article Abstract:
Mechanical foreman Marcel Girard has developed a novel, unique piece of equipment which has vastly simplified the job of boat engine installation and alignment. Girard's invention is an engine jig that is easy to use and simple in appearance. It is made of aluminum and duplicates a number of key engine parameters, including height, width, footprint, coupling type and alignment. Girard has already sold 75 of his jigs and has applied for a patent on his invention.
