Anyone with experience of these engines.
Apparently based on a Mitsubishi block, marinised by ex Bukh engineers in the Netherlands.

I have one in my Arends33. Good support and spare parts from the Sydney Agent. The raw water pump is Jabsco so impellers etc easily available. I've only done a couple of hundred hours so haven't needed to compare Craftsman vs Mitsubishi parts prices. It uses a ZF Gearbox so again, common parts support. Starts and runs well, engine electronics / panel work well.

Hi, is the Sydney agent by any chance located in Taren Point?
