Volvo MD2020B 18hp (1996). Charging via alternator. Properly sound insulated.
This is a largish engine for this size of boat, with enough power to keep the boat moving well in choppy conditions.

Serviced annually.
Shaft drive to 3-blade propellor with stuffing box (greaser in cockpit locker).
Single lever engine controls in cockpit (replaced 2016). Control/ignition panel forward end of cockpit.
Plastic fuel tank at forward end of cockpit locker with deck filler.
Engine in good condition, starts first time and has proved to be extremely reliable, with ample horsepower for a boat of this size. In my ownership we have replaced some water pump parts and the gear lever controls. Otherwise has given no trouble.
Engine access is exceptionally good. For quick oil checks and opening the seacocks, the top step alone can be removed (as shown below). The entire engine box comes off easily for more detailed checks/work giving excellent space all round. Side and rear of engine can be accessed via the quarter berth.
