Engine, Cockpit & Hatches



Yanmar Engine

Engine.  Powerful Yanmar 3QM30H, 3xcylinder, 33hp raw-water cooled diesel engine.  

Very low hours and runs very well.  Serviced every 150 hours, or more often annually, with filter also replaced every oil change.  3x sacrificial zinc anodes in engine block regularly changed.  Sump underneath engine prevents any spillage entering bilge.

Carried on board a complete and comprehensive service manual. (Where would we be without the internet?) Yanmar dealers generally speak highly of this model.  We never had an issue.



Engine Exhaust Wet Box

Cockpit.  The cockpit and wheel steering makes for a seaworthy layout with mainsheet, engine panel and throttle, and bilge pump all accessible by the helmsman.  The cockpit is also comfortable at anchor or when entertaining. 

A dodger provides protection from the sun and spray when sailing and an awning provides protection when at anchor.  Instrument dials – wind speed and log – mounted on bulkhead. 

Forward Hatch

Hatches.  There are three aluminium opening hatches bolted to the deck above the forward v berth, saloon and head compartment, all aft opening for added seaworthiness. 

The hatches above the forward v berth and the saloon have glass-covered ply surrounds with heavy duty fabric covers for added protection in storm conditions. 

An opening hatch above the lazarette is fitted with a vent for flow-thru ventilation from stem to stern.
