I love those air cooled Listers. I have one on my steel boat. However outboards are simpler to service as they can be lifted off. Last year I put a Lucas alternator on my Lister and access was far from easy. It's not all switch wired yet so I just hot wire the starter and run a lamp from the alternator. Very annoying I had to dismantle all the electrics. This was purely to acceess a blown inverter fuse that had been tightly cabled in to the rotary switch through a cupboard and out to the bilge. I couldn't pull the inverter out so had to cut cable to free it. Then I replaced the fuse at the back. I redid the AC shoreline but direct to the CU. The guy who did that wiring was a qualified AC electrician but it was all done in house cable, not marine. And fuse access was cut off.
