Well I've really gone and done it now! We pulled the red beast from the boat and brought it home, a Westerbeke 50 that is, for what I hope is just a mini rebuild.

I would like to do as much of the work as I can, not just for $$ savings, but also for the learning experience. That said, I know there are going to be some things that are best left to an experienced mechanic.

I would like to hear your recommendations for a mechanic in the Baltimore/Annapolis area? I can bring the engine to them. Bonus would be if they wouldn't mind me looking over their shoulder.

In addition, I would appreciate any recommendations for part suppliers, either local or on-line. Locally, I have found Cobe Marine in Pasadena competitive and pretty good at getting things. I have used Torrensens, good but pricey. I've also purchased from gotomarine.com and been pleased with their prices and customer service.

Lastly, I have a couple of books on Marine Diesel Repair, but what do you like?

Thanks

Hi Chef, I have heard many good reports about Trans Atlantic Diesel, they are a bit south of Annapolis. Probably cost a lot extra to look over their shoulder !! Bruce.

If anyone sees these goofy posts, please hit the "report" button. (!) It's a spambot that searches for mentions of engines and automatically signs up for the forum and posts links to some mechanic. (I changed the address in the quote) Like that's going to bring them hordes of new business. Rolling Eyes
