F38 engine replacement

Post by philipl »

Has anyone installed a new Yanmar in their F38? Interested in engine cost plus install costs. Is this a better investment than a rebuild ( resale value, peace of mind, etc.) I would like to get engine concerns off my boat agenda and focus on sailing!

Yes, I did in 2018. It was an excellent decision, and the new engine (3YM30AE) fits the compartment perfectly. The oil filter is a bit tricky to access, but still doable.
