Engine
The engine is tucked away under the companionway. This puts the weight
as close to the center of the boat as possible, without impinging on the
domestic arrangements.
 | The engine is the robust Yanmar 2GM20F. It is a 2 cylinder 18 hp
diesel beast. |
| It has decompressors to help if you get caught with a flat battery.
However, being the freshwater cooled model, it has the advantage of provide
copious amounts of hot water, but the price to pay is that the freshwater
cooling prevent a manual starting handle from being fitted. |
| Access to the engine is excellent, with access being possible from all 4
sides. |
| Access from the heads on the starboard side is useful to checking the
oil. Without this, you would loose skin on the back of your knuckles! |
| Access from the front is by removing the lower part of the companion way
steps. |
| Access from the aft cabin allows both side access and rear access. |
| The water filter lives behind the engine and is easy to get at. |
| The fuel filter lives below the bunks in the aft cabin. |
