Frankly, I am at a loss as to why a person would change an engine in the first place. We have the Perkins TMD 22A Turbo and it runs like a gem. I can still reach the hull speed of over 8 knots and I can still power into a 30 knot + head wind and still make way comfortably. The engine has proved to be very reliable and economical to run. If you put two identical Amel's side by side, one with a Perkins/Volva 80hp and one with a Yamnah 110hp and ran them flat out, I doubt if you would see any difference except a larger hole in your pocket.

It is my opinion one would be better of spending the money and giving your existing engine a full overhaul. The Perkins is a very good engine and if the maintenance is kept up, like any engine, it will provide many hours of service. I know I can get parts anywhere in the world so why bother?

Just my two bob's worth.

Steve,

If you have followed Kent's saga, you are probably already aware that new engines installed on Amel boats need to be isolated from DC ground.  That means you will want to transfer to your new engine the negative ground solenoid, the isolated senders for temperature and oil pressure, and isolated alternators, etc. Be sure to make that part of your discussion with the retailer prior to purchase and also with the installer prior to installation.

Just a reminder.  Good luck with the re-powering.

Thanks Jean-Pierrre. I'd love to have a simple normally aspirated engine, but we don't seem to have many non turbo options. John Deere makes an 80hp, but I need to check on fitment issues. How is you beautifully restored boat performing, and where are you located now?

I'll be late getting there, too, Steve.  Going to get the electrical problems solved before I go North again.  Still hope to be Cape Cod area by midJuly.

I think you're making the right decision about the engine.  Is it a Yanmar 80HP?  Turbo?

Thanks Kent. We have decided to go with the 80hp, as I just don't want to risk CDrive issues. I hope you have your electrical gremlins sorted soon, and are back on the water. We still hope to see you up North this summer, but we are going to be a bit late due to the engine issues.

The

High Pressure fittings on the hoses. The ends come off and
you can install them on new hose with just simple
tools.
My experience and my
experience in this group tells me these have about a 5 year
life as long as they are not exposed to caustic chemicals,
overuse of pickling chemicals, or petroleum products. This life is not
dependent on use, but age
only.
If you happen to go over five
years, the salt water spewing in your engine compartment can
be very destructive.
The hose
on BeBe is marked: ZEC VE740000 SAE  100 R7

I am due for replacement and hope to get
some soon.
In my case I figure
5 meters is plenty.
