Out with the old, in with the new.
Discussion
Playtime had her third pair of Perkins T6.354's, the original 145hp motors.
She will soon have a pair of much newer Perkins Sabre M265Ti motors, really 240hp.
Rebuilt BW Velvetdrive 72C with new fwd and reverse clutches, seals and gaskets.
Man at R and D says I need a 50 AE 101 but that won't fit, too deep and can't be turned round as the AE element only runs one way. I think I might need a 4 P 5. I'll give them a call.
More to follow.

Do you have any pictures of them in pieces? 
She'll look spanking with those shiny rebuilt motors and gray bilges as I recall?
Nice job
As it happens that was 2 seasons back and they are now in a right mess due to the leaky old Perkins, they'll need a good clean and maybe a repaint.She'll look spanking with those shiny rebuilt motors and gray bilges as I recall?
Nice job
Pics to follow this weekend.
