Subject: Perkins 4-107 for sale.

Anyone interested in a Perkins 4-107 with a newly rebuilt Thamesway transmission? The engine is about 40 years old and was rebuilt about 10 years ago. I don't know how many engine hours are on it as the engine clock hasn't worked in years. It runs like clockwork. Will ship.

Peter,

What are you going to replace your perkins with? It is nice to have a new power plant. I am hoping to have mine operational next week.

Hey Mike,
I'm going with a Yanmar 4JH4E and a MaxProp. It should fit into the existing engine compartment without any modifications.
Hope you're well.
Peter

Peter,

That setup should really be nice, That will be a big change from the perkins. I went with a 3 bladed sailorman prop 18"X15". With that Yanmar what size prop are they recommending?

Hope all is well with you as well

Mike

I believe you will need to add a significant number of lead ingots to the deep part of the bilge one you replace the Perkins with a Yanmar. Extra ballast will be required to keep the bobstay tang out of the water when you loose the extra weight.
