Engine(s)
Nanni 85 hp 5-cylinder diesel is located at the front of the boat. There are 2 alternators, one at 100amps for the engine battery and the other is 110 amps for the storage batteries and both have been replaced and refurbished in the last 12 months. The motor is located transversely located forward where on would find the chain locker in conventional craft. Drive is hydraulic to four blade prop. This system makes the engine virtually inaudible from the helm, saloon and aft deck and so makes cruising much quieter and less stressful. This installation also results in a floor plan that is almost one level.
