Does anyone have experience with this particular engine. A quick look at
Nanni's Website shows it is _not_ in their current product line. I'm told by
the owner that this is a 6-cylinder, 56 horse power at 2800 RPM engine based
on a Kabota block. Can anyone confirm this? What is the 6.280's reputation,
and Nanni's reputation in general, regarding reliability and maintainability?

Yes, this is a Kubota engine that Nanni marinizes. Just installed the 5.280
version, which it appears has also been discontinued. As I only have about 6
hr's on it, I can't speak about reliability from personal experience. It
starts and runs well so far.
Kubota seems to have a good reputation for it's diesel engines. They are
used in the Kubota line of tractors,construction equip., generators,etc., so
parts should be avalable world wide for the basic engine.
Nanni supplies the header tank with enclosed heat exchanger, jabsco salt
water pump (direct drive) and some plumbing. Fairly standard stuff.
I think the literature I had on the 6.280 (sorry it's gone now), listed it
as a 62hp at 2800. Nanni should be able to send you a parts list and shop
manual. They have a web page at www.nannidiesel.com that lists their
dealers. The current US dealer is at WWW.laudiesel.com. You can also check
the local yellow pages for a Kubota tractor dealer to inquire about basic
engine parts.
One thing I liked about the Kubota was that for the HP, the displacement
was fairly large (2.8ltr) and RPM's were lower than for similar engines (and
no turbo).
Hope this helps.
