    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.

  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Needed to replace a Perkins 6354 135 HP in a large sailboat in Florida Want with a good 2:1 +- transmission. Probably could use a Perkns or Lehman or Yanmar maybe a John Deere.
 
Did you try Trans Atlantic Diesel for the availability of a rebuilt? It will go back with the least amount of modifications to the mounts, exhaust, drivetrain, etc.
 
Agree that putting a like engine back in would be the most cost effective option since everything will bolt up.
 
The former owner of my boat bought a pair of Perkins 6.354 engines from a salvage in Fort Meyers. They apparently run well. He's keeping them as spares for one of his boats, but let me know he had them in case I wanted them for my boat. I think he said they are the T6.354(M) variety, which are externally the same as the 6.354(M) variety, except for the turbo and related plumbing, and that they make 165hp instead of 135hp.

He is in the vicinity of Lake Whales, FL.

If you DM me, I can put y'all in touch.

Suggest you stick with anon turbo Perkins like you have. As suggested TAD would be a good place to check.

For whatever it is worth, my memory is that the T6.354(M) has essentially the same cooler configuration, etc, as the 6.354(M). This contrasts with the 6.354MGT, which has the "Breadbox" cooler, etc.

I think the max RPM as set in the injector pump tune might be different, 2400rpm (turbo) vs 2800rpm (naturally aspirated). And, the cruise RPM might be different (approximately 2000rpm vs approximately 2300rpm).

So, I guess one would want to get the prop pitch adjusted by 200rpm, or have the pump and injectors retuned to match the naturally aspirated engine (meaning no boost from the turbo, so you could take it out).

But, as long as there is room for the turbo, I think it should fit on the same mounts, have the same angles, get and return fuel the same way, get raw water the same way, etc. Exhaust configuration will be different, obviously. And the blowby tube will likely go to the turbo inlet vs air filter housing, etc.

Obviously one would want to check all of that eyes-on.

Last time I checked with TAD, which admittedly was years ago, they didn't have any cores, so one needed to send them their old core, or buy a core on eBay, etc, to send to them.

The used motors my boat's PO has reportedly have the transmissions with them. But, I don't think he tested those as I understanding his testing of the engines was out-of-water.

Again, if you DM me, I can put you in contact. You shouldn't believe anything I might say about them -- I've never seen them!

Agree on the recommendations for like replacement. Rebuilding almost always makes the most sense if it's possible.

IIRC those engines were available in both rotations. Make sure there are no assumptions made on that.

Most definitely (were once) available in both rotations.
