Engine and Generator

Engine is the Gray Marine Detroiy Diesel 6-71

Engine hour meter showes 1717 hours

Engine is rated at 136 hp at 1200 rpm and 205 hp at 1800 rpm

Mamufacturer recommends maximum rpm under load to be 2100 rpm

6-71 means the engine is six cylinders with 71 cubic inches per cylinder therefore displacement is 426 cubic inches (6x71). Series 71 engines were produced from the 1930's to the 1990's.

Compression is 18.7 to 1

Background information on Detroit Diesel:   Series 71 engines were produced in one-, two-, three-, four- and six-cylinder versions, all in in-line configurations. In the 1950s, Series 71 engines in V configurations were introduced in six-, eight-, 12- and 16-cylinder versions. The engine's configuration is indicated in its name, so a 6-71 is an in-line six-cylinder engine, while a 6V-71 is a V-6. Suffixes appended to the name indicate when an engine is equipped with turbochargers, intercoolers or Roots-type blowers; a 6-71TIB engine features all of this equipment.

Generator is a Perkins 7.5 KW with 5829 hours
