Most Tridents were originally fitted with lightweight two-stroke Vire or Dolphin engines, most of which have now been replaced with small diesels. Dolphin engines and spares are still available (see HERE). The only known UK source of spares for the Vire is “Nick the Engineer” in Christchurch Hants. He can be contacted HERE.
