Fitting Yanmar 3GMD into our Catalina 30

So, we bought our first boat last week. It is dry docked with a new bottom job, new sails and all that jazz. We picked up the yanmar from the seller's garage and had it lowered in the galley. We found that the fiberglass shaft log has a split in it. The guy had pulled the universal engine out for himself and acquired the Yanmar to sell with this boat with only 440 hours on it. Now it looks like I need to bore out the old shaft log and glass and epoxy in a new one. Has anyone had any experience putting a 3GMD UI n a C-30? Surely this has been done before. Do I need custom mounts or cut out and reglass the engine compartment????

Please advise...

Best regards
