Hi Folks,
After the replacement/refurb of injectors to cure a "white smoke" issue - which did not cure the smoke problem, I now find I have a knackered engine - head gasket, bent conrod and two pistons corroded by water ingress.
It looks like I may have to get a refurbished engine!!!!
I can get the cost of a likely engine replacement but does anyone have any idea of the likely cost of removal of the old and installation of the new??
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Buy a new kubota engine from kubota dealer and swap all of the Nanni mariinsing parts over, cost of swap less than £1000, budget extra for new hoses etc, may as well while it’s out. Also clean and paint engine bay while empty, much easier than working round the engine. Do it yourself or pay someone £400-£500

That is a Kelvin Model P4. Not seen by many as their greatest engine for canal use. Quite successful in the fishing market though.
Now the Kelvin Diesel Model J, the Model K and the Model L are different animals altogether. Sound great, are prettier than the Model P, much more interesting than a Gardner or a Lister and more likely than the promise of a new RN, sometime. Maybe.

What do you mean when you say more likely than the promise of a new RN sometime. Maybe ?

This is factually incorrect and Slander.
The vessel in question had a Tort Notice on it as there was a marina bill of over £1500 outstanding and the owner went AWOL - we even contacted the Police as we assumed he was dead!
The vessel had the drive linkage disabled at our request as we had to protect the vessel from any potential theft (keys were in the house where the owner lived and later missing) and also we had a Tort notice to recover our owed money which was considerable. Redwood Collections dealt with this matter formally.
The owner eventually re-appeared and paid his outstanding bill in instalments, but payments were never up to scratch.
The owner departed the Marina last week (still owing a few hundred quid) - there was still a Tort notice in place and had an unpaid bill. The owner actually couldn't pay the bill and therefore offered us a used Generator as payment which we accepted as it was better than nothing!!!
This person quoting this is damaging the reputations of the businesses involved and any post that refers to this matter incorrectly needs to be removed.
Thank you

Must be very upsetting when someone owes you money but won't pay.

We know of at least 10 boats running single cylinder RN's

Apologies, but I was quoted that price at Crick a couple of shows ago. What is the latest price for say a new DM2 now though?
£18,995.00 incl new Prm box
-
No they're notWell new RN DM's are currently running at around £11,000 per pot!
Not many common parts unfortunatelyApart from being a toy to go to stationary engine rallies, where is the value in this engine?
I suppose there are some spares for a twin in it

Every two years - two coats. More is not necessarily better and four coats not twice as good as two!

Hi inverter efficiency dependant upon make but probably 80% as a guide
Watts are watts voltage irrelevant
So 2 x 20 watts @240v = 0.2 amps if left on for one hour = 0.2 ah ( watts / volts = amps)
2 x 20 watts @12 v = 3.3amps one hours use = 3.3ah. If 80% efficient then 3.3 x 1.2 = 3.96 - say 4 amps

Hi I can make these pipes all I need is either your old pipes or the fittings from the ends and the length of the pipe. I have the easiest way to measure the length is to thread a thin copper wire into the pipe from end to end then pull it out and measure it, the pipe I use is 6mm x2mm steel injector pipe

Lots of dealings never a problem, have you called them ?

Ours is 22E 1517 and am pretty sure it is circa 1991 - does that mean 122 engines built over 5 years? The original invoice is on the boat, but I'm sure it had a Southampton address on it.
Met Graham Pearson while cruising this summer, so guess I should have asked him!
1517 built 1991 for Stoke on Trent boatbuilders. One of the last of 169 engines built by vero engineering in Southampton.

Ok here goes,
We have built and sold 4 new engines and refurbished (totally) 4 more. We are currently building one new engine and one refurb, all DM2's. We are also re building a DM3 for a customer. And have a further DM2 in stock awaiting refurbishment and a new DM1 single cylinder in stock complete and ready to go. We have parts on hand for many more brand new engines and all parts including gaskets, are available for spares for all D series engines and virtually all parts for the national D series. We do have a national D3 that needs a home.
All our new builds are just that, all brand new parts. Our factory overhauled engines are completely overhauled with all parts checked and replaced with new as necessary, as a minimum we fit all new bearings, pistons, liners and valves and guides. No 'paintbrush' restorations here Sarsons!
New cost including new prm260 is £18995.00 with 5 year guarantee.
Overhauled engines are typically £10,000to £15,000 with 3 year guarantee
No one else can offer this level of warranty nor is anyone else able provide the spares backup of new spares from stock other than the modern high revving engine suppliers.
Weight of a DM2 complete with PRM 260 is 13 cwt £(1456 lbs)
Always happy to discuss customers needs directly on 07812 039110 or answer questions about all things RN. We have a very extensive archive of information on all RN's back to at least the early fifties and all of the original drawings and build sheets for the same. We also have lots of info on where engines currently are, none of this info is computerised(yet) but is searchable by engine number.
We are building a boat with a DM2 in it which will be in our hire fleet when complete. The shell is from Simon Wain and the fit out will be to match this exceptional shell
Think that's everything for now!?

Mike, call Bim if you are interested in the dorman. It's available.I'll buy it then.... Always wanted a 2L2!
MtBThe other boat being the boat that sells the witchcraft stuff?
Have they sold their wonderful Dorman D2? mad to replace in my view!

I am repainting my boat. I discovered that Masons is not trading, what is being labelled as Masons is not the quality it used to be. This makes me sad, because I've always painted my boat in Masons Red, with good results and not much fade off. The last paint job, however, faded like never before. So I am asking you...what is a good substitute for what Masons was 20 years ago?
classic coatings will supply proper masons p type enamel call them on 01509844151

hi
the pressure is quite low for Hydraulics ( about 400psi) and the flow is nowhere near engough to power anything significant. The pto's spoken of are a directly driven shaft which could be used to power a hydraulic pump to power a bow thruster.

I thought it better to revive an old thread than post anew. Would you be concerned by the apparent state of this engine bay and bilge (hope the pictures post okay). We are thinking of making an offer and would also get a full survey but any initial thoughts are always appreciated. Has been on brokerage just over 3 months. 2000/03 Mike Heywood.
First do not stress about it too much. Use a recomended surveyor - Trevor whitling of Whitling marine 07767 888255 is very rigorous and fiercely independant.
either make a provisional offer taking into account the total cost of the survey inc. drydocking etc. or make an offer pending survey results and ask the vendor to pay for the survey that you arrange. i.e offer the asking price pending survey results if the vendor pays for the survey. If the survey comes back good job done. If not renegotiate based upon the work required to rectify the survey issues.
with regards to the photos it looks as though the uxter plate is rusting due to condensation but without a survey you are just guessing as to whether or not it is serious. as a minimum it needs to be de-rusted and painted preferably with the engine removed to faccilitate access to the base plate also. this would cost between £400 & £600 dependant upon how long it took. Whenever We sell a boat we always have the boat surveyed and then correct all of the issues identified. We also pay extra so that the survey liability can be passed to the buyer.
