The link is great David. I can't find it easily because all search engines search the German market first. Thank you very much. I have already ordered the manual. I asked in Tunisia for a photo of the gearbox.

I can't tell you what kind of gearbox it is, but I have a picture of it.

That's a good idea Tony. I don't know the site, but I will search it. Thanks for the link to the other forum too, Tracy! So far I have only found one article on the BMC, which refers to Canalworld;-))) No one said it would be easy.... But since we want to go on a worldwide trip, it's good to know if and where there are parts. On the other hand, the engine is much too big for my boat, but came as a good opportunity to replace it, according to the previous owner (New Zealand).But that is another topic Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Ok, thank you very much. I can't get hold of English magazines;-) Which makes it difficult for me to maintain the engine. It's still running and with the right maintenance it will continue to do so for a long time. If anyone else has any ideas, I would be very happy.

Thanks for the quick reply Tony, Do you have a good contact in the UK that I could order parts from? I have already found ASAP on the forum! THX, Anderl

Hello Friends, My steel sailer is currently being refurbished in Tunisia. The engine specialist would also overhaul my Newage BMC Sealord 57. What would make sense in your eyes? Where can I get spare parts or gaskets? Many thanks in advance and excuse my English translation ? Greetings from the German Alps, Anderl

Thank you for the quick responses. Tony, I think you are absolutely right. The bad thing is that it was not unknown to me with the return line but I have not thought of it. I was probably mentally already with the crane. Sorry! But what is certain is that I drove through a calm and had no power or tide. (Mediterranean Sea) But I noticed that the throttle can not be adjusted well in the minimum range. The 3 blade propeller makes a normal and undamaged impression compared to other ships in the size. Since it is a used exchange engine is even older than my ship (engine year 83, ship 89) and before a 30 hp engine has pushed, I do not think that this size was absolutely necessary but it was probably available and gives security;-) Well now she stands on land but I can, since I had pumped the tanks empty, let's see what flowed back. Best regards from Munich, Andreas

Can anyone help me with the consumption of my engine? I have a steel sailboat 12m long. 4m wide with a long keel. The boat is 17 tons. My BMC Sealord 6 cylinder with 100 HP needs about 10 litres per hour at low speed through the water, which seems a lot to me. I noticed this because I am temporarily using a 20 litre can as a tank. Is this normal or what can I check or do about it? The engine runs very smoothly, is dry and starts on the second. Thank you for your help, Andreas
