Broom 36
The 36 was part of the fast offshore range with a planing hull but without a keel, making it a fast boat for offshore passages but still suitable for inland cruising.
The interior layout makes the most of the limited space with an offset double berth in the aft cabin as well as separate shower and WC cabins. The deck saloon has to double up as the dining area, with steps down to the galley, forward heads and guest V-berth.
Most boats were fitted with twin Volvo’s, typically 220HP.

Hi Tom, We've just bought a Broom 36 with 225 HP Perkin Sabres. The documentation shows that it originally had Teignbridge Eng. 24” diameter 4 blade propellers. It also shows that both port and starboard engine originally used a 2.04:1 gear ratio and a 26” propeller pitch. However, hand annotations from a previous owner show that this was subsequently modified: Port gear ratio:2.04:1 Starboard gear ratio: 2.10:1 (originally 2.04:1) Port propeller pitch: 24.5” (originally 26”) Starboard propeller pitch: 23.5” (originally 26”) I hope that helps.

Looking for some help / advice. We have just purchased a Broom 36 and are going through her cleaning and upgrading etc. The engine batteries were kaput, so I changed them, as there weren't any markings on them I just put in what we used on our last Broom with twin Ford 150hp, which were 105 amp or 1000 CCA We are having issues with very slow turn over on cold start on the Perkins M265's with both engines on the new batteries I have checked the usual suspects like battery terminals, all leads for corrosion. The battery isolators are the key in fuse board type and are marked KTNNKG DK 238-12V. These look newish so I am guessing the previous owner had them fitted What was the original Brand, or amp rating for the correct isolators Could this unit give poor engine turnover Or has anyone got any insight to what might be our issue be. Regards Robert

Hi there, Can anyone tell me what size/throw propellers were fitted to the Broom 36 originally. We have 220 HP Mercruisers which rev to 3400 rpm. Kind regards,
