i can take some pictures and measurements for you, and will also include mount models. I'll run down to the boat today and send them tonight. Thanks, Dan Feierabend SM #86

Happy to hear that the pictures helped. Don't hesitate if you need any specific additional ones. I located the fuel filters on the back wall. I wanted easy access to it, and it's mid-point between eng

Sure. I actually installed it myself over the course of 2 weekends. My rails were quite rusted so I made new ones. I'm heading down to the boat now if you want me to take any specific pictures. Thanks

Here's a picture of our Beta 85. I extended the rail and reverse mounted the alternator (fuel filters were moved). Thanks, Dan Feierabend #86

If anyone is interested, I have a slightly used turbo and elbo for a Perkins Prima M80T. They both have less than 5 hours on them. I unfortunately had replaced them right before finding out my engine

Hi Davi, I just purchased a Beta 85 which should be delivered next week. I'm installing the CS version of the control panel today, and it looks like it will fit perfectly. I'm happy to share pictures

Thank you Bill. I have been working with Stan and just purchased a Beta85 for Feierabend. My Perkins M80T was not rebuildable do to failure of aft motor mounts (original) and water getting into the en

I'm pretty sure the shaft is steel.. and also the part that attaches to the shaft. The Aluminum part is just the housing that is loosely fit with the 4 tension bolts and houses the 4 rubber nubs. Than

Unfortunately yes... The rubber bushings were so far gone it started to warp the 4 bolt holes in the aluminium hosing. The 4 studs also showed cracks by 2 of the studs. So this was long overdue. As a

Hoping someone can provide some wisdom for removing what I believe to be the original vetus coupler. Unfortunately is has gone past its prime and a new one is needed. That said we have used a wheel pu

Hearing how the bolt went through a tab on the pipe, could the explanation be that the galvanized pipe provide extra rigidity to reduce the deck from flexing when the windless was pulling up an anchor

Has anyone replaced the turbo heat shield on a Perkins M80T? I think it's supposed to be white and cloth like. Mine is oil soaked and embedded with rust. Thanks, Dan Feierabend #86
