Hi guys,
I am considering buying a 44 foot sailing yacht, of about 1983. a few of those boats are equiped with the perking 4236, 80HP engine.they all have between 3500 and 5000 hours. If well maintained, until howmany hours this type is reliable?somebody has experience with these engines?
my perkins 4.154 has 3300 hrs and is running just fine. Turner Automotive Diesel - ENTER for parts. A few parts are getting hard to find off the shelf. Contact them and ask their opinion.
