ENGINES ... Beta Marine's engine range is based on the most advanced water-cooled diesels from Kubota. If you are repowering, we have drop-in replacement engines that provide safer more fuel efficient and reliable alternatives to the old Universal engines. We offer friendly. experienced customer service and special discounts to Catalina 30 owners. Jay Kimball, 1.888.792.2382, www.BetaMarineNW.com We have had much success repowering Cat 30s with Beta Marine BD722 engines,
of 20hp. We have a Cat 30 repower underway now, replacing an old Atomic 4.
Details are here - http://www.soundmarinediesel.com/catalina30repower.html Model 5411 Diesel - In
1977 the Model 5411 was introduced. It was a 31 cu in, 11 hp 2 cylinder raw water cooled diesel, based on the Kubota Z-500 block,
and fitted with a Hurth
transmission. The 5411 was built from 1977 to 1982. Approximately 2,900 were sold. It was replaced by the Model M15, which
was produced in 1982 and 1983. Approximately 370 were
sold. This engine is the older brother of the M-25. I would guess that the majority of engines installed in Catalina
30's were either 5411 or M-25's especially in the 80's. Extract from the "History of the Universal Motor

An excellent
replacement oil filter for the many Universal engines that use the Universal
part # 300209 filter (M3-20, M-25XP, et al) is the
AC Delco PF1127 oil
filter. The nice thing about the PF1127 is that it is exactly 3" in diameter,
while most of the other replacements are somewhat larger, usually about 3-1/4".
On my M3-20 engine, filters larger than 3" in diameter get rubbed by the drive
belt, which isn't good for the belt or the filter. The Kubota 70000-15241 oil
filter is also 3" (when they don't mislabel it -- I got a Kubota filter labeled
70000-15241 which was larger than 3" and had the wrong threads!). In my area,
Pep Boys carries the AC Delco filter. Bryant
