Ron,
I had mine done in Milwaukee, WI. They no longer make
the water-cooled
version. The same engine air-cooled is made. If
your cylinder is good most
other parts are available
Petter is now Lister-Petter USA (They could give
you local dealer location )
815 E 56 Highway Olathe, KS 66061
800-888-3512
I talked with Scott @ Brown Engineering / Royal
Power
909 W 16th St New Port Beach, CA 92663
949-642-1075
They rebuild them and will ship back and forth. I
believe he was with
Catalina when they were using Petter
diesels
My cost was Parts $1024 Labor $1768 Total with Tax &
misc $2975
PO had replaced the exhaust system 2 years
previous
The reason I had mine done it was leaking water,
hairline crack of the water jacket around the cylinder/block. They welded
and bored the cylinder.
It runs super, starts on the 2nd or 3rd rpm. With
factory prop full throttle
it turns 2950 to 3050 rpms. About 4.7 on my knot meter,
5.3 ot 5.5 on
my GPS motoring with sails down. If I were a
coastal sailer with strong
winds and heavy seas I would like more HP. Coming
in with strong
headwind and 4-5 ft seas I'm sure water speed is a lot
less than 4-5
knots.

I may need my AB1W overhauled. I have gray oil-not white or
foamy-and it won't start-ran great for 30 yrs. Someone mentioned that
it may be the fuel pump or ? I live in Fresno, CA and have not found a
Petter mechanic. Where did you get your diesel overhauled?
Any suggestions?-Ron Cat 27 #1114

Tommy,
Advice--- I had the engine completely overhauled 2 years ago,
probably
used 3-4-5-gal of fuel ? Also had an additional Rancor
filter installed.
How often would you change the original filter

Yep. Mine was right in front, left the engine in place.
Replaced it with one from the local kenworth dealer - figure that
ought to last a few hundred years with the amount of fuel we
burn.
