It's a long shot but I am looking for a Viable Sterling engine with gearbox for re-installation into a boat that is currently being restored. The boat was originally built with a Sterling Engine specified as a 4 cylinder 40hp Heavy Duty. I am going to guess at either a FH or a D, the prop was a 30 by 40 so RPM would of been low. Beggars cannot be choosers so other types of Sterling would suffice so long as they are 4 cylinder. Cheers Nobby |

Greetings, Is the prop size that you mention measured in inches? If so, what length, type and age is the boat it powered. If that is a 30" X 40" prop, I suspect it is a heavy duty model B or D. Depending upon age, it could be an F or a GR as well. But need the above information to speculate. That said, Sterling Engines are getting harder to find. There are a few G or GR engines out there and also a few Sterling Petrel 6 cylinders that might work too. Please let us know a little more info and you never know what might pop out of the wood work. Cheers, Lew |

Yes prop size in inches, your thoughts mirror mine Lew. Though a 6 cylinder would not really fit. It is a George Lawly 45' double ender built in 1913. Cheers Nobby |

Model B then most likely. There were a lot built. with any luck, you can find one. There are 2 strings here about model B engines in the last year. One in the UK and one here. Might be available. Good luck, Lew |
