This is the Westerbeke 44B replacing the old Volvo 23hp in my restored Alberg 37. I bought it from Anthony-Keates, the Westerbeke dealer in Wheatley, ON. I ordered it equipped with a 100 amp Balmar alternator and quad pulley with dual belts and Balmar AR5 external regulator. Notice how clean the engine compartment is. With all of the new piping and electrical properly distributed there is no need for a spider web of wires and pipes in the engine area. Note the Racor 500 diesel fuel filter behind the engine. The 2 gallon water lift muffer is just below. The engine came complete with a 2.1-1 PRM transmission. A new coupler and drivesaver were added to the brand new shaft and dripless seal system. New mounts were fabricated and tapped into the existing aluminum mounts buried in the base fiberglass.

| Westerbeke 44B 44 horsepower diesel engine installed 2016 with 100 ampere Balmar alternator and AR5 Balmar external regulator (just out of sight). Currently has just over 200 hours on it. The boat design allows for more than adequate engine space. This makes for excellent access for maintenance. |
