Mitsubitshi engine in B361?

[Guan]

HI ALL:

Can anyone enlighten me?
I just bought a 2001 B361 and was said to have Westerbeke engine but the surveyor's report noted it was a Mitsubishi engine!

Any one care to give me some opinion about this engine if they are similarly equipped? Where do you get parts from this engine???

Thanks.

Most current Westerbeke's are marinized industrial Mitsubishi engines and have been for many years. We have a Westerbeke 44B Four which is really a Mitsubishi SL4-2...

Where do you get parts? From Car dealers?

Can you post some pics of this motor? Mitsubishi industrial motors come painted black and Westerbeke Mitsu's come painted red.. I can tell you in a second, with a picture, if it is a Westerbeke or not...
