I am replacing my old Westerbeke 30 and am wondering how many hp people have in their boats? Choosing between a Beta 25 and a 30. Recommendations? Thanks, kp
I have a 30B which i believe is original. Had to do the motor mounts a few years back. This year it is the water pump, ouch they are expensive.
I would be curious what you come up with if i need to go that route in the future (distant I hope).
what happened to the diesel? If you are parting it out let me know.
The old diesel was leaky and smokey. Am repowering with a beta 25. I have a rebuilt fuel injector pump, rebuilt alternator, rebuilt starter and a raw water pump that is a couple of years old. And the old injectors. everything else went to the dump!
If you want to start a thread about your re-power, please do. Have at it. Go for it. Oh Yeah.
I am now *that* close to replacing our original Universal 23 hp with a Betamarine 25. While the actual installation will be a little different, any pix of the before, during, and after for your boat would be helpful.
Guessing from the year of your boat, is the engine under the settee?
Anyhow thanks for sharing!
