Point of order, I reckon my NB has an engine casing. The plastic bits that surround the outboard motor.

the engine room is an engine casing Nick, you need to learn to quit when you are ahead I don’t dispute this is the case for large commercial vessels. But it is not according to terminology used for leisure narrowboats. All leisure narrowboats with engine rooms that I’ve come across, don’t “case” the engine in the way you describe, ie no waterproof, fire resistant, smoke proof etc barriers between the engine room and the accommodation. So to call a leisure narrowboat engine room an “engine casing” would be as misleading as it is wrong.

Yes, it would be wrong, but you are the only one who has mentioned anything about doing that, . . and you are the one who's being corrected over referring to an engine block or crankcase as ''the engine casing".

Nick, you are moving outside your speciality

Struggling to read? JohnV just said, in reference to my point about leisure narrowboat engine rooms, “the engine room is an engine casing”. As I said, have a look on google to see what the rest of the world thinks about it, not just those whose existences revolves around the tiny bubble of commercial vessels.

Nick, you are moving outside your speciality “Large” isn’t about length, and anyway is a relative term. I would imagine Sabina’s tonnage is considerably greater than even a 70’ narrowboat. Sabina is built in a completely different way to a leisure narrowboat (well I’d presume so, although I’ve never actually seen it).

Context is everything. Aircraft engines are typically within “engine casings” although “cowlings” is a more common term. So what?

Almost. Aero engines are encased in nacelle, cowlings are the (generally) removable panels.

But for example most light aircraft don’t have nacelles, they have cowlings because the entire engine casing is removable. As I mentioned earlier, the context is all important.

I've just picked up a 240v 20a switch from screwfix and wondering if there's any reason why it wouldn't work with my router? .... Cheers! Yes, and there could be lots of reasons. Thanks for creating this thread, I’ve learnt a few things.
