I could go water-skiing, with the correct proppage!

I almost bought the 4 cylinder version for my boat. If I could have shoe horned it into my engine room I would have bought it.

Nice unit . I had a RN DM2 in a narrow boat and had many hundreds of hours cruising with it in the 90s and 00s. Russell Newbery made very nice engines. Mine was in a stern engine room so rather noisy but 100% reliable and a nice chugchug exhaust tone. May be better to use a Beta silent pack for extensive cruising Not seen a 6 before. The D and DM series had rather unusual horizontal valve gear and the RN patent 'clerestory' combustion chambers with a conical piston which has a 'pip' on the top. This helps with swirl after fuel injection but the horizontal valves suffered with lubrication problems on older engines. Not sure if this engine is the same but if it is I would imagine it is similar to a Gleniffer DB6. Gleniffer used the RN patent combustion chamber for some of their units. Not sure if they did this with all of them. Gleniffer are lovely units as are Russell Newbery I love old engines but for extensive cruising I feel (sadly) that a new unit is probably a better option overall unless you are looking to "impress people you don't like" My 2p anyway

Tomsk ! Remember your a cock womble. Perhaps, but my home remains free of faecal deposits and shall remain so.

Middens was a new word for my already huge vocabularly. How extraordinarily exciting.

Tomsk ! Remember your a cock womble. Perhaps, but my home remains free of faecal deposits and shall remain so. Tomsk! Tomsk! Tomsk! What a cock womble womble womble you are! Remember! No it doesn't bother me, as well as dwelling in a house I occasionally dwell in a boat and a caravan, both with cassette bogs, which I dispose of down the plumbing with aplomb. I've also cleaned up a few leaky drains in my time. So what exactly is your problem, other than being a mardy arsed, lilly livered wuss, probably a southerner (certainly demonstrate soft tendencies) oh, and best not forget, an utter twat! I recall I have in the past, claimed you are a girl, that would explain a lot! (sorry girls!)

I recall I have in the past, claimed you are a girl, that would explain a lot! (sorry girls!) S'cuse me...... I don't feel any affinity with Tomsk as a representative of my gender...... I've delved down cess pits..cut fat from blocked pipes(Molly appreciated that 'doggy delicacy')...unblocked toilets and shovelled shit in my professional life(nurse working in bowel and bladder wards)..ohh and cleared 20 years of ankle deep rat excrement from old barns... so how Tomsk's obsession with workings of Kris's composting habits be 'girlish' I fail to understand
