Engine Identification?

[Billy Ruffian]

Hi Everyone
New to the forum, fairly new to boats but have just bought my second one, a spur of the moment purchase.

I have a bought a Macwester 27 with very little history. I am trying to identify the engine so far nobody has been able to help so I hope someone here may be able to.

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks.

Could be something from britishpolarengines.co.uk given what is says on it. May be worth trying them.

Or, Polar were manufacturing heat exchangers back in the day, seem to remember based in Dudley. Product competitive to Bowman who still exist.

Can't see where that is quoted on engine though. Appears to be some writing on the heat exchanger, pretty indistinct on my machine though, maybe o/p cold take close up and of any other marks possibly on sides of cylinder block.

Almost certainly the manifold is Polar as Third engine says - so probably a home grown marinisation of a Kubota as Polar would put letters in front of a number to identify their products.

'Polar' is the name of the heat exchanger, 'Polar' were taken over by Bowman Heat Exchangers who are now based in Birmingham and parts are also available from https://www.asap-supplies.com/engin...anifolds/heat-exchanger-manifolds-manicoolers

Is it one of the Kingfisher range? The company went a few years ago, but the engines were Chinese.

Thanks for all the input, it made me look in different directions.

I believe I have now identified it as a HYDROMARINE DM12.

You had me wondering there for a while as I was trying to work out size of engine and how many cylinders. But I'm glad you found it

If it helps you, that engine is based on the Kubota ZL600.
