Changed the engine and box in Parglena since I have had her. Gearbox because I wanted a 2:1 reduction not 3:1 bought a gearbox of http:\\www.findafishingboat.com cost me £190 plus my gearbox in exchange so far 4 years its been fine. Changed engine this year was using a litre of oil every two days very smoky. Again went to http:\\www.findafishingboat.com and sourced an almost identical engine built in 1980 6 years older then the previous one but with only 1500hours on it. Cost £1700 in fact fitting which took a week was more then the cost of the engine.......... I now have a barge that doesn't smoke. --
