johnsilver Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Hi all! Great forum!! Sorry to write in english, but I'm from Hamburg / Germany. Two years ago, I took my old "snekke" from Norway (Avik) to Hamburg for restauration. Woodwork is allmost done, now it's high time to get the engine back to work. It's a Marna H / 5HK from 1950. Most of the engine looks really fine after all these years and I ordered some new parts from Marna Motor in Mandal. My problem is the cylinder. The lower parts of the cooling was clogt and heavy corrosion created a hole of ca. 5 x 3 cms and destroyed the thread of the lower drainplug. It is maybe possible, to repair the thread, fit a patch over the hole, but allmost impossible to remove all the deposite in the cooling system. I'm looking for a used cylinder in good shape instead, to get the beauty back on duty. So, if somebody knows about a cylinder or a cplt. engine, please let me know! I would really appreciate any help! Best regards from Hamburg, John Quote Link to post

Sleipner93 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) Mabye this could be something? http://www.finn.no/finn/boat/object?finnko...pos=2&tot=6 The only problem i think is that there are not so many norwegian that want to send down to Germany i will think but you may be lucky and find someone that wants to do this. If dont you must travel up here and get one. Edit: And my english isn't the best :lol: Edited June 28, 2007 by Sleipner93 (see edit history) Quote Link to post
johnsilver Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hi, thanks for the tip with the annoncen at FINN båt- I allready sent out some e-mails. The transport should be no bigger problem, I can take care of it. I'll be in Norge time by time (we spent our last summer holidays on Lofoten) and I have a friend living in Tönsberg. So, again, I would really appreciate any help. Regards from Hamburg, John Quote Link to post
