Hi, I just bought a 1983 mainship trawler and would appreciate any information either on the boat its equipment or the 165 h.p. perkins engine. The engine has about 2500 hours on it , and I would like information on what oil filters and fuel filters it uses and where can they be bought. Also how much oil does this engine take? The boat came with a vetus bow thruster, a simrad ap14 auto pilot, a simpson lawrence mechanical windlass, a northern lights 5.5k generator,and a raytheon r20 radar. this spring will be my first chance to run the boat so I am very interested in finding out all about it. Also how does this boat handle when it comes to docking in a cross wind? I understand this engine is economical at slow speeds, anyone have the same engine?

Thanks , Bill
