Trans Atlantic Diesel is one source for Perkins parts. Trans Atlantic Diesels | Perkins Diesel Engines | Perkins Engine Parts | Cummins Diesel Engines
Main has water in it. Idk if I can save it. Boat was a live aboard for best 15yrs. Very neglected. But the perkins wasnt touched by the water. So that's why I'd like to repair it 1st.

Boat is a 1982 robert beebe design trawler. Built in a ship yard in Europe. Need alot of wood work but deckhouse deck and hull are very solid. . .. ..better be it concrete. Normally I would never have gotten a ferrocrete boat. But I like the design and fact that is has cruised from Europe to the us. Then the med. After the med the boat hit an object and took on several feet of water. Like to the top of the main engine almost.

She was hauled out and drained. Repaired and from the med was sailed to florida
