How to Re-Power your Boat Restoration Project | NEW Diesel Boat Engine | Beta Marine 43 (Ep124)

Join me, Joe, at Motor City Boat Werks, as I start the process of repowering my 1980s Albin 27 pocket trawler! In this first episode of a multi-part series, I walk you through the decision-making process for choosing a new diesel engine, why I chose a Beta Marine 43 HP engine, and what it takes to install it in a classic displacement hull. In this episode I discuss: ✅Why I removed the old Nissan LD28 diesel engine ✅How to determine the right engine size for a displacement hull ✅Options for small marine diesel engines in the U.S. ✅Benefits of Beta Marine engines for DIY boaters ✅Tips for installing your own marine engine ✅Planning your engine bed and mounts This is part of a series of videos on the diesel re-power for my trailerable trawler restoration project.
