Can anyone tell me more about my new project? Just picked up this engine described as Stuart Turner 8hp two cylinder marine engine with the following explaination: " Marine Engineer who has retired and given up his workshops. It was working when he took it out of a boat several years ago and he was going to use it but never got round to it.It is dusty but not very rusty! I understand that it is an 8 hp "two cylinder petrol marine engine to MOD spec No 60B710 some service documents with it are dated 1974. but I do not know when it was built It has a reverse gear and starter motor and dynamo"
Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. I am hoping to fit this to a 16ft wooden Clinker boat I am refurbishing.
Kind regards
Mark

Mark, The motor is a P55ME Stuart Turner fitted with Coil Ignition instead of a Magneto.
More info is available from Marlex Marine Technology http://www.stuartturnermarine.co.uk/
who are the new agents for Stuart Spares and info.

Hi Mark!
if you post the ID no's on the brass tags from motor and gearbox
we can identify it more readily! looks like a P55ME to me! later P66s with twin coils had a type 73 gearbox!
