I have a boat, "Aquabelle", currently running two Ailsa Craig RF6 engines that are in good shape, although some of the ancillaries are giving trouble from time to time. The engines were built in 1959 and fitted to Aquabelle in 1960 as a replacement for two RF3 engines fitted on build in 1939.
My main trouble is the multi-clutch gearbox where the reverse brake band has run out of adjustment, needing a bodge on the pivot to gain a little more life. Has anyone any experience with these gearboxes and knowledge of repair/rebuild?
Aquabelle is a 45ft motor yacht and was at Dunkirk for Operation Dynamo.
