Mechanical Systems

Located under the wheelhouse sole, Daf 575 6-cylinder 105hp diesel engine. Freshwater cooled via heat exchanger to keel cooling unit for simplicity and increased reliability. Single lever controls and hydraulic wheel steering at both helms. Twin 285 litre fuel tanks with balance valve. Shaft drive via PRM hydraulic gearbox to 3-bladed propeller. Vetus bow thruster with controls at both helms.

The current owner has maintained the engine to a high standard and the engine has proved very reliable during their nine years of ownership. Current engine hours are displaying at 1241hrs although it is believed that this may have been reset and that the actual engine hours could be closer to 2000hrs as this seems very low for a craft of her style and age. When cruising at around 7-8kts the fuel consumption is approximately 5 litres per hour, at canal speeds around 2.5 litres per hour offering an impressive cruising range and very low fuel costs for a boat of this size.

Blue painted steel displacement hull with long keel profile (protecting rudder and propeller) and heavy duty rope fendering. White painted steel superstructure and grey decks. Dual station hydraulic wheel steering. 2.6m (8'6") Air draft with canopy folded down.

In 2017 the hull was media blasted back to bare metal and then coated with Jotun epoxy paint system. All windows were removed, the entire superstructure and decks were painted before the windows were re-bedded. All work was professionally carried out to a very high standard.
