Outboard: | |
| Yamaha 9.9 AEL 4 Stroke Easy to install & maintain; light and lifts clear of the water when sailing, for reduced drag; no sterntubes or seacocks to worry about; easy clearing of fouled prop; huge stowage areas and “stoopthrough” available inside the boat. Outboard well in cockpit protected against swamping and minimises cavitation. 10amp alternator. Special GRP cockpit cover/seat/table. 2 x 5 gallon fuel tanks. The whole installation is sealed & self contained in the outboard well. 1 x 108ah battery.Max speed 6 knots – Consumption 1/3 to 1/2 gph.Ruggerini 15hp Diesel outboard General advantages as petrol above, plus diesel economy. Engine is air cooled – otherwise installation is exactly as above. | |
Twin Diesels: | |
| INBOARD – Twin YANMAR 1GM10 Fantastic manoeuvrability (boat can be turned through 360 degrees on the spot if required), 2 separate engine installations give good standby, diesel advantages and good drive even in big seas. One engine alone is quite adequate for normal motoring, with no steering effect once moving. The cockpit is clear, with a flush floor, but stoopthrough is not possible with this option. 2 x 35amp alternators, 2 x 10 gallon fuel tanks, 2 x 108ah batteries. Max speed 6.75 knots. Consumption 1/4 gph per engine. | |
Central Diesel & Twin Hydraulics: | |
| Volvo MD2020 19hp with twin hydraulic drives The best of both worlds. Exactly the same manoeuvrability & diesel advantages as twin diesels, indirect cooling, tachometer and even more power, plus the internal space and stoopthrough advantages of the outboard. 55amp alternator, 12 gallon fuel tank, 2 x 108ah batteries. Max Speed 6.75 knots. Consumption 1/3 gph. |
