Westerbeke W13 Diesel Engine & Gear Box

Post by Maine Sail »

Hi All,

I has a used but very good condition Westerbeke W13 diesel engine for sale. I am selling it as a "parts" engine but only because I have not 100% run through the engine. I had planned to, but it would have added about 1k to the price in time & materials and quite frankly I just don't have the time. It is just collecting dust in my shop and deserves a good home.

It was running perfectly when taken out of the vessel but the owner, a wealthy guy from out of state, decided he just wanted a new motor. No real reason, just wanted a new motor, for his piece of mind.

These are great running little Mitsubishi based diesel engines. Repower for CHEAP or just grab a spare engine and have thousands of dollars in spare parts to keep your W13 running for years. Having as spare engine is a good way to avoid the 10k re-power surprise!!

This motor has been professionally maintained and has many recent parts including 4 recent motor mounts, a recent fuel pump etc.. As far as I know everything works fine. The engine is actually quite clean for her age and pretty darn rust free. The engine has a Hurth HBW-50 gear box which alone is worth about $1000.00 used, and they no longer make it..

I am asking $1850.00 for the engine & gear...

That looks a bit too wide for to fit in a 27. Do you have some dimensions?

Looks like the exact same engine that I have in my 1981 Sabre 30. I just finished putting a rebuilt heat exchanger in it and swear I will never do that kind of repair again due to the inaccessibility of the exchanger and lack of room to get to it and the hoses that have to be remade to make everything fit.
the boat is for sale and I will keep you in mind when whomever buys it might think of replacing the engine.
