Engine on 1981 27' Hunter

All I can make out is Renault Marine Couach...does anyone recognize this engine so I can look up a manual for it?

Wow; does it run? maybe you should start on the outside and clean it up first...should be a model plate on it..Dale

If you look on this site under boat information/downloads you will find what you want

It's a Renault RC8D. See this and many other threads for more info:

Absolutely Awesome intel guys! Found the manual under downloads...now I will have something to go by to get this baby running (fingers crossed).
Thanks!

The problem with the Renault RC8D is finding parts for it. Last I heard there was a British supplier as the engine was widely used in England and many remain. Using the same Couach design an engine was manufactured in Germany but the parts are not interchangeable.
