Do the Beta and get whatever is the 37.5 HP engine. It is just the right size 
for mine and your size boat. You may now have the option of a computerized 
control, Not available when I bought mine.

I replaced my Perkins 107 and the Kubota engine is great. Mine was marinized by 
Nani, but pretty much the same as the Beta. I did have a spring go in the Hi 
Pressure injection pump, but I think that was a freak occurrence.  

If you have the option to get a Balmar alternator, do it.  The Nani. Came with 
some crappy ickystan alternator from one of those obscure little European 
countries and the mount cracked.  I replaced with a Balmar, and Balmar 
regulator, and with Balmar you get the best tech help dept. I have ever dealt 
with.

Listers,

 

The yard is pulling out the Enterprise’s engine tomorrow. They can’t get it to 
turn more than 3/4 of the way and they think it’s a bent rod or something. 

 

So, as far as I can see, the options are:

 

1. They ship this engine to a place that can fix/rebuild. I know this is the 
lowest-priced option, but also am aware that there’s a possibility it can’t be 
fixed or rebuilt. So, in essence, I’m gambling with all that time and labor.

2. Obtain a remanufactured Universal M-35 or a similar engine from Westerbeke 
and get that put in — anyone have any clue as to those costs?

3. Obtain a Beta-30 from Beta Marine for $11,000 including shipping and put 
that in. The Beta guy (who has been enormously helpful) says it should be a 
perfect match (same mounts, same power, lighter engine)

 

Anyone have any advice, experience or comments with any of these options. If it 
were you, what would you do? 

 

Wanted to get this email out before I threw up. 

 


All the best,

 

Edd
