We have a JD 4045 like Ted. The JD 4045 can be rebuilt in the boat. I read that it can be done in a day. Some quick searches indicate rebuild kits are quite reasonable. With a spare cylinder head and the accessories, I don’t think it would be a huge undertaking for a certified and professional JD tech...maybe 2 days.

It appears the 6081 may also be rebuilt in the same fashion.

I hope to get 20-30K out of ours. It will be difficult to put that time on, but we will try.

I look forward to learning about your new boat, presuming she passes muster. You own some interesting and substantial vessels...
