Are there any other names or marks on the engine, box, water cooled manifold?
You could have anything from a 60hp up to 130 hp engine. Is it marinised? Best regards Andy

I am a relatively newcomer to this engine, with a pair fitted to my own boat.
From what I can gather, the max rpm is 2000 for 100 HP output (non-turbo) with absolute max, short term of 2200 for 105 HP.

Hope this helps

Tony

I have a boat in Buenos Aires - Argentina with two Perkins J6M. Also I have the manuals. The maximum HP is 130 HP to 2350 rpm but he does not recommend using it for over few minutes. My ship is 50 ft.'s wooden classic and navigate 8 NM to 1500 rpm.
I have the manuals am able to scan some pages and to send it.
Greetings PeterSand
