Atomic 4 Marine Engines - Recent Arrivals
Arrived June 2021!
This 1967 Atomic 4 model 5103 engine (less V-Drive) was retrieved
from a Wilmington Shipyard by DYS after its owner had it removed for
replacement. It is in fairly rough condition. DYS has partially dis-
assembled the engine and decided to rebuild it with a replacement
V-Drive Unit. It will then be available for resale.
Arrived September 2021!
This Atomic 4 engine was rebuilt by others and installed by DYS in a
Newport 28 sailboat in 2008 for its new buyers. After several ownership
changes and 13 years of service, it has returned to DYS for a rebuild. It
had a fresh water cooling system in operation, but had overheated, and
partially seized. DYS has been contracted to do a full teardown and
rebuild.
Arrived February 2022!
This Atomic 4 engine rebuild was started by the ship’s owner, who
unfortunately passed away before completing the project. His daughter
took over the project, collecting the engine pieces + spares, and brought
them to DYS for a complete rebuild. The engine was equipped with a
reduction motor, and an old design cylinder head, but some conversion
had been attempted. Since it is the auxiliary for a larger sailboat, it will
be completed with a reduction motor by DYS.
Arrived December 2021!
This Atomic 4 engine was ready for a rebuild last winter, but after
checking prices, its owner gave the job to a local rigger who said he
could rebuild it for less than DYS. The job was never completed, and
what work was done did not use gaskets, but lots of glue, with poor
cleanup and partial repaint. The owner finally reclaimed his engine (less
a few pieces) and brought it to DYS for a complete redo.
