Turns out the little 31-foot Lien Hwa Sea Horse trawler that I thought was powered by a six-cylinder, 120-hp Lehman is powered a four-cylinder, 80-hp Lehman (my mistake).* I* gather these were very popular in*twin-screw Taiwan trawlers like the CHB34 and as auxiliaries for larger sailboats or motosailers
I have a few questions for the Forum.* First, what ought to be the fuel consumption of this engine?* Second, as long as I don't run her too hard--and am happy with running at seven knots or so--is there any reason this would not be a good powerplant for this trawler?* And finally, is replacing this engine with a 120-hp Lehman an incredibly complicated process?* I wonder about motor-mount location issues and such.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
