but hope to meet some of you when we finally manage to get to some club events!I've decided to re-engine Blue Marlin, a Swordsman 37, and will have a pair of Cummins 370hp 6BTA’s with ZF220a gearboxes available for collection circa. January when they’ll be lifted out.
I’m advertising them now should any potential buyers wish to sea trial them before committing to purchase. The hour meters gave up the ghost some years ago, but I estimate they’ve done well under 3k hours since they were commissioned in 2003. They’ve had a lot of money spent on servicing them over the last year and a half, including various replacement hoses, new wiring harnesses and Seaboard Marine CCV kits.
They have been running beautifully over the past two seasons having twice taken us to the Scillies and back to the Solent without missing a beat. The sale will include original dials, dash wiring (replaced last year), new pigtails from the engine harnesses, new ignition key switches and start/stop buttons plus original Morse throttle controls.
The Starboard ZF gearbox is the original, the Port gearbox was replaced in 2017 after a bodged rebuild of the original gearbox. All receipts and full history of these engines will be available to inspect.
They would make an ideal rebuild/refurb project for someone and if I had the time and talent, I’d do it myself! I’m looking for £16k for everything and would prefer to sell as a package unless they fail to sell before January.
Please PM me if you have an interest.
Many thanks
David
