[What Engine Is This Please ?]

26 minutes ago, Vaughan said:

A 4 cylinder Lister, marinised by Petter Marine, with a fairly new looking PRM gearbox.  A fairly old design but if it has had regular oil changes, it should be very reliable.

Be careful to check that the engine is exactly aligned, as you only have a short prop shaft with no flexible flange coupling.  Misalignment could even be why the gearbox was renewed.  The engine appears to be on flexible mounting feet from what I can see, in which case there also ought to be a flexible shaft coupling fitted.

Many thanks for the info

Hi folks,

Just bought Broad Smile and had her transported to Gloucestershire to run up the River Avon and Severn. Can anyone tell me the /model of the engine please (I know its a Lister Petter)?

She runs lovely but quite hot compared to my old V8 at 90°C or thereabouts. Also the oil pressure is a lot lower, at idle when fully hot 15psi. At cold its about 30psi. How does this compare to the specs ? She has just been to Boulters to have a full service. 

Anything else I should be looking out for on the engine apart from the usual?

Thanks

Stu
