Not a gearbox?? I think what you can see under the heat exchanger is the back end of a PRM gearbox. Looks like the gearbox is just led there but not fitted onto engine.

Sir Nibble Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 I had a boat on the canals with raw water cooling for ten years and never once had anything block the intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed and raise you ten... Can't remember the old adage - something do it once, do it right and forget it. Just too many bodges around nowadays - mostly for convenience sake and not for the right reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve56 Posted July 22, 2020 Report Share Posted July 22, 2020 If you decide to use the engine as a heat exchanger cooled unit it may be a good idea to improve the water injection exhaust outlet. Try to do away with the horrible 90 degree elbow and have a swept bend put in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the boat looked just like that at the back. It had a fibre glass top and quite a high bow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top has been rebuilt in epoxied wood over a steel frame so probably looks a little different but thanks its a great help ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
