Been having a play with ProE, and come up with this way of operating the rudder using a traditional style narrowboat swan neck tiller. You lift...
I have been giving your posts on the TDi's a good read. The area around the water pump looks quite different on my engine, The holes you've used...
Why is it that car engines are always mounted on 3 points and boat engines on 4? As I see it the loads the engine mounts have to support are the...
The project's progressing fairly well. The engine's out the car and separated from the gearbox. Unfortunately I don't have any good photos, but...
So if I use the car's exhaust manifold and air cool it then I can soft mount the engine and use the stainless bellows to take up the vibration? If...

Gary, Thank you very much, I got the file today and it opens in ProE, I'm going to have some fun playing about with it. My principal concern is...
Gary: Did you get my PM? I'd love to get my hands on your CAD files, I don't think I can open Rhino directly with ProE, but I can open plenty of...
I've found this thread very interesting. I'm interested in fitting one to a narrowboat that I'm building. As an unwieldy long boat that goes very...
For the purposes of a narrowboat running a 50hp engine what would typically be used? As far as I'm aware they don't use any raw water for cooling,...
I just want to make sure I'm understanding terms correctly. A "dry" exhaust is one that operates in a similar way to a car exhaust, with no...
It's 60ft long and 7ft beam. Assuming a 2ft draught that gives its displacement as around 24 tonnes (18.3x2.1x0.6). Canal boat people seem to...
I'm considering engines for a narrowboat. It's a bit different to most of the projects discussed on here as it only needs 30-40hp to chug along....
