I would also avoid a turbocharger if I could, but it looks like turbocharged engines are the only way to get the power we want with an engine that is small enough to reasonably get down the companionway steps, along the passageway and through the engine room door. (Oh, the joys!) We'll see what develops...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307788103369409650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903828557671115365.post-15913399249093310372012-05-05T15:12:53.500+10:002012-05-05T15:12:53.500+10:00thanks for that, Mark - you highlight a big consid...thanks for that, Mark - you highlight a big consideration, which is that there's no guarantee of course that spending on the Perkins would end just because we tackled the problems that are apparent now...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307788103369409650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903828557671115365.post-87243626710642970252012-05-05T09:12:36.728+10:002012-05-05T09:12:36.728+10:00We have a late-eighties Yanmar (4JH-TE).

It doesn't leak anything and runs super smooth and quiet, averaging between 3/4 to one gallon per hour. We just replaced our injectors. Interesting to note that 3 of the 4 were really bad before replacement, yet the engine had still started on a dime, everytime--so I reason the compression is still good. Now it still does, but runs better too at the higher RPMs. Especially after spending $400 to rebuild the turbocharger recently, I would prefer not to have an engine with a turbocharger and the added complexity, but I don't know if that is possible these days. Anyway, this is my long-winded endorsement of a Yanmar. Good luck to you guys, sorry you have to deal with this. I recall Terry Kotas wrote an article called Repowering in Paradise that has a lot of good info in it, making templates, approaching the project, etc. It was in the October 2009 issue of Blue Water Sailing, but I couldn't find it online.Michael Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15359487055197866481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6903828557671115365.post-83835217894088390642012-05-05T08:34:16.297+10:002012-05-05T08:34:16.297+10:00Hi

I chose to recon the motor for $6k instead of spending the $20k to replace. It runs great but the Peripheral parts like the heat exchanger, fuel lift pump and the injector pump went next. Total spent ended up about $8k and runs fine but missing the extra horsepower (and fuel consumption) that a new Yanmar would have. The Perkins is a great motor which is easy to work on and lasts forever but!!!!<br />Good luck<br />Mark<br />Cal 48 WainuiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888506195680717520noreply@blogger.com
