Josh I am guessing heat exchanger that you refer to does not mean the same as in everyday life where it can be used as a heater for the boat with some reworking. Am I incorrect? I have 3GM30F and some days it is miserably cold while underway and the option of an onboard engine driven heater might be nice
Also. I think your landfall38s likely have tons more access than our frers 33 with an oversized engine. Maybe Rich and I will have to compare next summer Mike Persistence From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Muckley via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, December 02, 2014 11:55 PM To: Patrick Davin; C&C List Subject: Re: Stus-List LF38 engine access - how bad is it really? The difference between the GM and HM are negligible. Most/many parts are interchangeable. The HM only came in 3 cylinders and had a slightly higher power rating. The F designation means that it has a glycol (fresh water) coolant system and heat exchanger. The GM came in 1, 2 and 3 cylinder versions in which parts were directly interchangeable. Visually I believe all of the GMs have a place where a handle can be attached to the front of the engine to presumably hand crank. I have a Yanmar service manual that covers all of the HM and GM variants. Not sure about the QM. As for access I enjoy 3 sides but could survive comfortably with just front and back. Front alone would be quite challenging.

But does it actually prevent you from doing any critical tasks or is it more of a nuisance? Also anyone know the differences between the Yanmar 3QM30F, 3HM30F, and 3GM, either in terms of size (access) or power / longevity? The boat I looked at had the engine recorded as HM, as either a correction or upgrade (to a survey which indicated it was QM), but the owner said on this forum (a few years ago) that it came with a GM. The broker said it has the original engine. So this is very confusing/misleading, but will try to clarify with broker which it actually is. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
