Automotive/truck diesels are different, designed to run at light load for
extended periods. Marine/industrial diesels are designed to run at high
load all the time, like a truck pulling a full load over an endless
mountain pass. Of course there's some crossover, but for the most part
these are different types of engines.

Hmm...that's odd. Other than the seawater pump and heat exchanger the
Perkins 4-108 in the ketch looks exactly like the Perkins 4-108 in English
tractors! The parts even fit!
