Indigo was repowered with a 27HP Westerbeke by her previous owner. I consider this a plus and feel the 27HP is very adequate most of the cabinetry is woodgrained formica. I personally like the formica but detest the dark fake woodgrain look. It has a good feel and seems to have held up extremely well. Whitlock is supported in the US by PYI in Washington state.
Parts including the twenty four year old gearboxes are still available.
An autopilot with the flux compass mounted remotely from the pedestal was advised. Indigo is still equipped with her original and working Eastham Maxol stove and Valiant propane fired hot water heater. The surveyor was uncomfortable with the Valiant due to lack of direct venting. I have added a CO monitor to help address this. The propane is routed from the propane locker to the appliances inside of fiberglass raceways tabbed to the inside of the hull for physical protection.
