Re: perkins 4.018 40 hp engine randomly reving up 100rpm

I have a similar Westerbeke 4-108. In the past 10 years, the 3 times my revs were erratic was caused by a clogged fuel filter. I'd be curious as to your ultimate fix. Keep us posted.

Re: Is your boat part of your Doomsday Plan?

A possible escape (however rare) off the island I live on, is enough justification for me to own a (cruising) boat. All other use is a bonus!
