[Alberg30] Yanmars and old(er) boats

[Neal Jackson]

For the record, PEREGRINE, No. 486 (1971), had a Yanmar 2GMF already
installed when I bought it nine years ago.  So the later boats can also be
candidates for this series of engines.
 
There is admittedly not much room around the engine (reinserting the
dipstick after checking the oil is done by feel).  But it seems solidly
installed, has been trouble-free and on the Bay can push the boat at 6-7
knots into the wind (if the prop is fairly free of barnacles).

George's comment is quite true.  If your boat has the liner, under the
engine, it will have to come out before the Yanmar, 2 or 3 GM will fit.  The
oil pan is way too deep to fit and still line up on the shaft.  For the
old(er) boats with out the liner - it is a relativly easy job to replace the
engine beds.  I put the 2GM in Isa Lei, if I had been working on a new(er)
boat, I wouldn't have even considered the Yanmar.
 
I did an article on the instalation for the Mainsheet, if anyone needs a
copy, let me know.
