    No worries. I wouldn't hold anyone to advice given freely on the internet, unless the same thing was said by many sources ( good chance it's the right answer then), just looking for anyone input, even if it's not the right answer, it might spark an idea in me or someone else. Either way I'm always grateful for any knowledge.

    The outboard came with the boat, wouldn't have been my choice. But I'm reluctant to spend on a replacement when the future is an electric drive when finances allow.

    I think I've solved it!!! Just looking again at the photo, I've realised that the metal clip that the pointer slides over is 90 deg the wrong way so it catches when you change from fwd to rev. Might not be that simple but I'll try it.

    I understand, I'll have a look through the parts catalogues. I suspect the part numbers may be the same. I do't know a great deal about these engines, but why would you suspect an ignition module if the engine cuts out when hot ?. Is that the most likely cause ?. Thanks
  5. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    That sounds like a plan.The engine starts and runs fine and cuts out intermittently after about an hour of use. Cuts out quite often when manovering fwd and rev, so that burnt out little lockout switch maybe the cause. I didn't realise ignition modules were interchangeable, that maybe the next issue. Thanks.
  6. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    That makes sense. Thanks. I think it's knackered and disconnected. The engine will start in gear. I've taken the carbs off for a good clean, engine keeps cutting out randomly for no obvious reason so just trying to get to the bottom of it. Appreciate the help.

    Hi, can anyone help identify this part. The engine is a Suzuki DT50 outboard. Any help would be appreciated.
  8. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    That sounds rather specific. Have you had trouble before?
  9. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks for the information. I have the drive unit attached to the prop, all the hoses are in good condition, there's a hydraulic tank, prv but no pump or engine. Was curious to see if it was possible to try a different way, but maybe it's beyond practical, without spending lots. But thanks.

    I've seen a 60ft narrowboat with a 4.5KW electric motor. Wouldn't say it was tremendous, but it did work.
  11. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Hi, yes it's the same boat. The outboard is fine (surprisingly) steers better than most in reverse. The outboard is only a short term solution because that's how the boat came. Long term, when finances allow, I want an electric drive. The reason for all the questions is I'm just looking to utilise what I have already before I spend money. (I am Scottish after all)

    Thanks for the information. where would I find more info on parker. It's not a name I recognise. Thanks
  13. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks for the reply, it is designed to be enclosed as it has it's own enclosure with forced air intake and exhaust. It does have an auto shut down in the event of CO2 build up or air intake failure. Exhaust is submerged. And it is remote control for start up and shut down. I wouldn't take the chance with anything else.

    It's a 10KVA genny and it would be going into the engine space under the rear deck (where the original engine and pump would have been). The reason for asking is these are the things I have and I'm trying to see if there is a way I can use them.
  15. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Might just wait until I have the electric motor first. Thanks anyway.
  16. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks Brian, the end goal is an electric drive motor on the prop (because that's about all that would fit under the floor), but i was just wondering if there was a way to use what i have at the moment.
  17. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Just trying to get some general info if anyone knows the answer. This may seem like a daft question to some, but I'm trying to find out if it is possible to use an electric hydraulic pump to power a hydraulic drive on a prop ? The reason for asking is the existing system on my boat was a hydraulic drive. But all that is left is the drive unit at the end of the prop, there is no pump and no engine but I do have a powerful generator hence the question.
  18. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks for the information
  19. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Ha ha you've got a good eye for detail
  20. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Hi, yeah it's definitely 50hp. It looks a little out of scale as the boat is 12ft wide
  21. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks. With the boat weight and the shallow V hull, I pulled it along the towpath with relative ease (only a few hundred meters though).
  22. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    The outboard is a DT50 (50hp) boat weight is currently 15.5T
  23. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Hi, waiting is not really an option, as that would put it out of use for at least 18months. The outboard as fitted was working, as prior to my ownership, this was being used up and down the waterways of London. However, with things all disconnected I'm trying to work out what configuration they used. Thanks
  24. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    A picture may help.
  25. NEBUCHADNEZZAR
    Thanks for that. May I ask why one over the other ?
