Beta Marine Engines

Ken · Ken

My 1 year old Beta 38 is using zincs completely up in about 1 month. That seems a touch excessive The only electrical connections to the engine are the positive and negative cables, put right where Bud Taplin told me to put them. I have a drive saver. Prop zinc usage is normal. Most of the past 8 months...

Time to replace the Atomic 4. My Columbia 8.7 displaces 8500 lb. which Beta is preferred: 14 or 16? What prop? Do Beta engines have self-bleeding fuel systems similar to Westerbeke? Thank you very much.

Doing research on a dripless system for the new shaft and engine ....for a dry bilge... The PSS sounds like the way to go...they are advising (On a Catalina 30) to connect a T in the raw water inlet for a water line to go to the vent connection on the PSS due to air bubbles in the stern tube on these Catalinas....

I know of one other owner that dropped the Beta 20 in as a replacement for the A4. Is that the right engine, or is it a bit overpowered? Also, do your engines come w/ panels, controls, etc?
