This is a left hand, counterclockwise or standard rotation engine (see transmission information below).   It has two Carter YH-1 Barrel carburetors which were rebuilt several years ago.  The engine has been converted to a spin-on type oil filter although the original canister filter is included.  The engine was overhauled a few years before I bought the boat and ran strong, pushing a 21’ Century Coronado to nearly 40 MPH.  The engine was removed from the boat three years ago.  It was drained properly and turns over easily by hand. There is a small crack in the exhaust manifold elbow that has been professionally welded.     

The transmission is a Dearbo-Matic  “C” Model with a 10 degree offset and a 1-1/4 to 1 reduction ratio.   The reduction gear changes the rotation of the output shaft to the opposite direction (clockwise) of the engine.  The result is the standard rotation engine propeller torque is reversed and the engine acts like a reverse rotation engine.  The transmission has always been a problem and I had it rebuilt twice, only to have it fail a third time.   The transmission should be considered for spare parts only.

I had planned to replace the transmission with a Borg Warner 71C Velvet Drive transmission and scrounged the necessary parts to make the conversion only to discover that Century Boats prop shaft holes are offset to compensate for the propeller rotation.   The boat was designed and built for the left hand prop rotation and the 71C conversion would make it a right hand rotation.  That won’t work.  Three years ago I repower the boat with a reverse rotation Chrysler Marine 330 HP, 440 Cu. In. engine and a Borg Warner 72C transmission.  Life has been good since. 

I have also included an Operator’s Manual and a Crusader Marine Technical Manual with the engine.

Buyer is responsible for shipping.  The wooden engine stand is included and I will deliver to a local loading dock in the Brainerd, MN 56401 area.

MQB. Remember those letters. You might be hearing them a lot in the coming years if Ulrich Hackenberg's platform experiment works.

Lamborghini Huracán blasts into town

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

SUPERCAR specialist Lamborghini has finally taken the wraps off the replacement for the long-serving Gallardo. Called the Huracán, its looks might follow the same winning formula as the car it replaces, but its performance statistics blow the old car into the weeds. With a new V10 engine packing a mighty 602bhp punch, the Huracán has been tipped for a top speed ‘faster than 202mph’.

Bentley Hybrid Concept is a Mulsanne, but it’ll arrive in the new Bentley SUV

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

The Bentley Hybrid Concept (pictured) will debut in Beijing There’s been lots of talk of a Bentley Hybrid for a number of years now, and in 2011 Wolfgang Dürheimer confirmed that hybrid was in Bentley’s plans and that it would be a plug-in. Fast forward three years and we get the Bentley Hybrid Concept, Bentley’s first crack at a plug-in hybrid powertrain all wrapped up in the Mulsanne. But it won’t be the Mulsanne that sees a production version of the hybrid powertrain but, as expected, the new Bentley SUV.
