JP4 on a trailer

[by'eck]

I'm not quite sure why, but I'm rather disturbed at the idea of having a sink in an engineroom. It just seems wrong, somehow.

Strange - I was just thinking what a practical, common sense idea it was - stainless would be a must though.

 

I guess SWMBO could have a bearing on the need for one there as well

Richard Milligan, a marine engineer based on the S & W has a JP4 in his engine room and reckons it has never had any problems. It sounds amazing! He also has a single cylinder unit (don't think it was ever officially classed a JP but is of similar vintage) as his on board generation! BIG engine room!

I'm sure he said it was a CE, but could be wrong.

I think (not 100% positive) the CE was only made as a 2-cylinder.

Much more likely a CS (Cold Start) which came in a variety of 1- & 2- cylinder forms. Early JPs also had CS engine numbers.

Could be a CD

Last year on the Oxford I saw a (not particularly long) narrowboat fitted with a Gardner 5L2.

Thanks for posting that invigorating piece of animated engine porn, by the way!

That would be the Enterprise, which had the engine fitted when a (real) working tug.
