Hello Beneteau forum!
We are the new owners of a grimey but generally very sound 2001 Beneteau 331. The westerbeke engine looks great but makes me nervous...it had several issues during sea trialing which seemed to be related to excess vibration: starter wires broke off, ignition switch failed, fuse wires shook loose, etc....
Diesel Fuel and filters were replaced as a suggested fix for vibration. Surveyor felt that it ran better after these updates but I'm not so sure. The engine was listed as a 27hp, but seems like a Mitsubishi 25?? See photos below..
Anybody know about this engine and what makes it tick? Boat is in CA delta area but headed to east SF Bay...
This is a family boat and i'm hoping to get engine fine tuned so that I have more faith in its reliability ...
Anybody have a top notch diesel mechanic in SF Bay area?
