Re: Boat Engine Grave Yard
I'm curious to know how many of those old engines are stripped for parts, etc???

I've frequented a variety of junk yards over the years.. if you're handy.. mechanically speaking...you could cobble something together....

Back in the day, I used to know an old Polish mechanic.. he was an absolute marvel with that kind of stuff...a genius in overalls, able to breathe life into the most decrepit of engines....,

Re: Boat Engine Grave Yard
I spotted this Bukh DV10 in our local dump scrap metal pile. Looks like it had been well stripped. The boss still wouldn't let me bring it home for a garden ornament.
Cheers

Are you going to tell us scroungers who they are and where they are located?

I suspect the oil pan might need to be replaced as well.
