New engine alert! 🛠️ Our Merenpoort needed a power boost, so we picked up a secondhand Yanmar 3GM30 from a boat at our sailing club that was being taken apart. It’s in great shape, but needs some maintenance and a good cleaning before it’s ready to go.

We just got it running outside the boat and it sounds fantastic!

Lift the Yanmar 2GM out of the boat

Engine swap in progress!. Now we know that our new engine is running smoothly, it is time to take out the old engine. We placed the old engine next to the new engine. You can see now there is a minimal difference between the Yanmar 2GM and the 3GM30, It is only one piston.
