Hi @Softy42 and welcome to the site.

First off is that boats are not like production cars. Your boat may have been produced with more than one engine, in the same year.

Please forward the name, model, and anything else you can find on the engine nameplate. The internet and likely this web site will then cough up a manual for the engine.

I didn't know if it was an engine or a blender.

I have recently spent quite a bit of time praying to a Vire engine, not sure if it is the exact same model but sure looks like it. I will ask my friend that owns the boat if he has any parts he wants to part with. He just found a semi-rebuilt engine to replace his and may be willing to part out the old one.

Sheesh ! I thought it was the boat .

It wouldn't be the first engine pressed into duty as a blender ...

Thanks D'arcy for your reply - at least you understand my request for the Vire parts !!
