Pretty much breaking our Perkins Perama M30
She has served us well but she was leaking oil and being the original engine it's probably time.
I am in the process of swapping in a VP2030 which is based on the same Shibaura engine and even though its build by perkins as well there are a lot of extra parts.
The VP was sail drive model with 1400 hours so those parts are up for grabs along with the engine mounts etc
The old 1993 perkins always ran well, never smoked on start up it basically just leaked oil the last couple of years from the rear main.
I thought it was using water but it turns out there is a bad join in a calorfier hose near the aft of the boat. Only found that out once I had removed the engine
Saildrive bellhousing etc £50
Engine mounts £40
Decent looking alternator VP £75
Perkins Perama heat exchanger doodad £400 ( cleaned and inspected last year and boots replaced )
Perkins exhaust Elbow £100 ( cleaned and inspected last year )
Engine is for breaking or spares and repairs - shoot me an offer or tell me what you need
Engine is in Largs, Scotland. Delivery available for smaller parts.
