    Perhaps I'll put one on my Christmas list ?

    So how long before a drop in replacement for a diesel engine is available? ?

    Yes, especially past moored boats. ? It is only when the batteries are flat and the alternator is working flat out that tickover is a bad idea, because the alternator will not then be turning fast enough to adequately cool itself.

    Course you can. When it's dead calm and I screw up, I point to the inevitable crowd of gongozlers and say "OK, which one of you just farted?" ?

    Put the filter number of the filter you took off into this website and it will provide equivalent. http://www.oilfilter-crossreference.com

    Use the stove to heat the boat, rather the diesel boiler and rads. This way the stove dries out the air and any dampness in the boat, and it also pulls in fresh air from outside via the low level vents, which provides ventilation.

    Whoops! That will teach me to read the entire thread. ?

    The 90° twist method is only applicable to polyvee belts like this multigroove image. If it is a normal vee section or cogged belt, then it is correctly adjusted when there is 15mm of slack on the longest run. If the belt is slack, there will be powdery black deposits around it.

    I think that is taking the reduce, reuse, recycling thing a step too far. ?

    Is the Beta engine the original engine? If so a call to Beta Marine https://betamarine.co.uk with the serial number will give you its year of manufacture, which will be within a year of the boats build date.

    So, could you scumble the interior and make a quick £20k to the Dave Harris boat? ??

    Athy, you are a genie us ?

    No one is disagreeing with that, but you said the oil in your PRM 150 gearbox goes black. That is most unusual given there should be no combustion particles in the gearbox oil. You aren't using Duckhams are you ? Most engine oils are a golden colour when they go in.

    Are the bits, scrapings, scraps, nibbles and squeezes metric or imperial? ?

    Sounds like I need one for Delta Queen. It would go nicely with my new horn. ?

    Try Graham Cutmore, he used to work for Alde before he began to service them. I think he now uses someone younger to service them in situ, but services them himself if you return it to him. http://www.grahamcutmoreengineering.co.uk
