Engine(s)

Engine: The engine room is totally self-contained as one of the vessels water tight compartments and is located under the cockpit. It is accessed from the cockpit via a hydraulic operated, gasketed hatch. Down two steps, there is excellent access to the four cylinder Volvo Penta TMD 22B (4,500 hrs), rebuilt January 2022. The engine is facing forward with the power train going first to an angle drive transmission then down the aft end of the keel to another angle drive and thence exiting the keel through a bearing to the Autoprop feathering propeller (2017). Freshwater cooled via heat exchanger. Single lever Morse control. 600 l fuel tank.


Generator: Onan 6.5kv (3,500 hrs); water maker; A/C unit; and hot water heater. The 24 v/50 l/h watermaker (rebuilt 2016) can be run by power-sharing from the wind/solar systems without the generator. The hot water heater may be run from either the main engine or 220v (recommend replacement next year because of a small leak).
