The engine is legend in the marine world but it was also used in taxis and other commercial road use.
In a boat its an ideal size and is reasonably easy to service and gives a rated 46 hp for sailing use.
Oil,both boxes use 20 grade, your probably not going to find that, use a 20w/50 grade, that will be correct according to the makers TMP in Weybridge, Surrey, England.

Note that the Henry Meadows gear box on the Perkins 4108 engine has two sections to it, the main section is closer to the engine, the back section which drops down and has the output drive is the 2:1 ratio reduction box. They both have their own oil fillers, the main box has a dip stick and a large removable plug for oil filling, to work out the correct level on the reduction box there is a removable side plug, the filler is near the top and in normal use is closed, when the oil comes out the opened lower level is correct, do not forget to put that plug back! The GUD filter code is Z93, older boxes may have a cartridge element?
