I removed the starter, alternator, manifold, head, flywheel, reverse gear and all the other parts that looked heavy and easy to remove. I recently removed my P-60 from my Islander 30. Copper head gasket is recommended for running in salt water. Among the differences are the water pump housing and trim, crankshaft, flywheel, fitting in cylinder head for air bleed line, water hose fitting atop cylinder head (where the thermostat would be in a tractor), distributor, exaust manifold, starter and alternator. Be sure to know where the Palmer is different from the tractor engine. The IH tractor engine that you want is referenced as C60. The Cadet model is a completely different engine. The thing to look out for is that it IS NOT the Cub Cadet. Is there any difference in the engine block and head with these 3 models? Thanks Nick When I was looking for an engine from a cub lo-boy, I noticed the cub lo-boy comes in model # 154,184 and 185.
Use a multipart block and tackle and make sure the boom is well supported, but the weight is not too much for most booms to handle. Mine had to swing forward quite a bit to get over the threshold for the engine compartment and up the companionway. Remove anything you can (like the carb) to give you some clearance. I used the boom to remove and replace the P-60 on my Morgan 35. I am sure I will be asking more questions after tear down. Your forum is great and I learned more about Palmer engines in a few hours than I could have in years of owning one. Note: There are after market new cylinder heads still being made for tractors and there are rebuild kits. If you are dock side you can use the boom to get it up and through the companionway then use it to swing out to the dock. there is a lifting ring normally on the aft end of the cylinder head so it should be easy to grab. I would remove the carburetor to make it less vunerable to being damaged. Any boat yard would be able to pick it up easily with a back hoe or the typical boom cranes they have. If straight drive it weighs about 350 with reduction gear aft of reverse gear about 380. A cherrypicker in the boat? Is the boom strong enough to use ? Dismantel the engine in the boat and reassemble in the boat? Thanks Nick

But I would like to hear some tricks of the trade on how to get it out of the boat as I have never done that, but have rebuilt engines. I would add a freshwater flush to the system though. The Palmer is basic old 50's technology that is easy to understand and looks easy to rebuild. If the Palmer manifold is good and the engine looks rebuildable, I would like to put it back in as it would be alot of extra work, motor mounts, alinment,exhaust, etc to re power with diesel.
I'm the first one to help someone keep a P-60 going but you should consider some of the low cost new diesels out there, considering the time and expense involved in taking it out and putting it back in. If you get the thing out, do you really want to put it back in? Resale wise you will have a boat without an engine after you are through putting it back in. I would appreciate any tips on getting it out of the engine compartment, out of the cabin and onto the dock. I need to remove my Palmer p60 from my Islander 30 Sailboat so I can do a teardown and possible rebuild.
