Islander 36 - Engine Types

Engine Types

The Islander 36 has had many engine types installed during its years of production. The early boats had gas engines, but later models offered diesel engines at an extra cost over the gas models. After the Atomic 4, and Palmer P-60 gas engine era, the mid-1970 diesel models used the Perkins 4-108 diesel engine. Later in the 1970s the Westerbek L-25 four-cylinder diesel was offered. In 1980s all Islander 36s were diesel powered. Early 1980s used a Pathfinder 42 hp (31 kW) diesel engine, and the last-generation models utilized the Yanmar model 3hmf 30 hp (22 kW) motor.
