What factors need to be considered when renovating an old ship and replacing the main engine?

By Amenda December 21st, 2022 133 views

Hello everyone, this time we are glad to share you some ship repair questions when replace the main engine.
We usually receive some customers’ inquiry, just say they want engine **hp, and replace old engine. Ask them for the old engine nameplate, reply no, ask for the engine room size, reply need wait( a long time then can reply), ask for the boat drawings, reply no...
When we face these questions, how we do it
As we all know, main engine is the heart of the ship, plays an important role. When replace the old engine, in the first, we should consider if replace the same engine as before one, just use other kind, if use the same engine, supply original engine nameplate is no problem, confirm all are the same as before is no problem.

If replace other brand engine(same power and speed), should consider new engine size if suit your engine room, and flywheel size if suit your gearbox

If replace the engine power and speed, this time we suggest you replace the engine and gearbox together, if stern shaft and propeller do not replace, should provide full information about the old engine power and speed, old gearbox ratio, old stern shaft length and diameter; old propeller diameter to your engine supplier(such as we SINOOUTPUT, have professional ship building engineers) to help you calculate the engine and speed, gearbox ratio, do not forget to tell your supplier why you replace your main engine, that will be better for them to support you and calculate. By the way, please do not ignore the engine room size.

If replace the engine, gearbox, stern shaft and propeller (full propulsion system), at this time, it is better to provide the boat drawings for your supplier(SINOOUTPUT professional team can support you), and tell your requirements, such as the boat speed requirements, loaded speed when shipping  and so on., full details can help you save a lot time and energy, based on your information, SINOOUTPUT engineers to support can help you calculate full system within 3 working days and give you some suggestions. SINOOUTPUT also can guarantee you the engine and gearbox with 3 years quality warranty(Weichai Sinotruk marine engine, Advance gearbox), for the stern shaft and propeller also can help you design according to your boat, before producing will send you drawings , after confirming then start producing(if order the stern shaft and propeller from SINOOUTPUT, the design fees are free for you)

Please do not feel troublesome to get information about your boat, as you know, different boat with different design, maybe some supplier just send you engine quotation, then can offer you full set propulsion system quotation, you may feel that is so easy and save time, however, when you receive these equipment, the boat performance may can not meet your expected. So do more things before purchasing is very necessary, look for a professional team to support you renovating an old ship is also very necessary! If you do not mind, welcome to inquiry~ Amenda is here to support you!
