Hello I recently bought a camper Nicholson 40 DS and am looking to connect to other owners of this type of boat and am open for all kinds of info and experience on it.
The boat is currently out of the water in the south of france and needs an engine overhaul. The engine that was in there was a ford tempest 2401e with what seems a PRM gearbox. I am not sure if the engine is worth to overhaul and am looking for other engine possibilities , problem with this boat is that the propshaft is off center by about 7 to 10 cm so finding the right gearbox might be an issue . Are there any 40 ds owners that have other engines then the ford out there and what is the gearbox fitted to it?
