Perkins engine info please

[Chrisc]

My new vessel has a Perkins Perama M30 installed. I have trawled endlessly through the internet trying to find engine HP output details with no success.
I presume that M30 means that its a 30hp engine although I have heard it also described as a 26hp engine, but can anyone tell me 26/30hp at what rpm please? Also, I would like to know the hp per 100rpm, or alternatively how to calculate it.

The Perkins Perama M30 is a marinised version as their (ISM* based) 103-10; nominally rated at 29BHP** (21.5 kW).
Volvo’s MD2030 (29 HP @ 3600 RPM) is, essentially, a Perama M30.

Thank you GordMay - the links you provided tell me exactly what I need to know.
Great stuff!

Hi GordMay

Do you which ISM model this is? This Shibaura engine is in many small tractors, and if I knew the model I could save a bundle on parts. If I could get the tractor parts, I'd do a complete rebuild.

Thanks
