Single Cylinder Wilkinson Launch Engine



9 September 2021



This modern launch engine with a well-worked out lubrication system for clean, quiet running was designed and built by Sam Wilkinson to suit an 18-ft launch and modified by Ian McAlpine. It runs well, has clocked up very few hours and to all intents and purposes is practically new.

It is a slide valve single of 65-mm bore x 75-mm stroke (approx 3 x 2 1/2 inches) with slip-eccentric reversing gear, pumped lubrication to valve-chest, cylinder and crosshead/small end as well as wick-feed via nylon tubes to other bearings. It comes complete with a belt-driven slow-running pumpset (feed + condensate) also built by Sam.

Approx overall dimensions (excluding pumpset) are:- Height: 19-ins above bearers.

Length: bedplate 8 1/2-ins.

Over couplings 13-ins.

Width: bedplate 11 1/4-ins.

Overall 13-ins.

There is also a propeller made to match the engine, 16 x 23”  (LH) and a second propeller 15 x 24-ins (RH).

Offers in the region of: £900
