Has any H326 owners fitted a Yanmar 3YM30 on their boats? I'm keen to know if this 3YM30 engine will fit in to the existing compartment without need for modifying or alternating the steps Engine Cover or any woods of compartment.
Thank you.

I have the 3YM30 and if you take some measurements I can check them to my mounting.

Ken, When we were at a boat show a few years back the Yanmar dealer said the new 3YM30 was more compact then then our older stock engines and was pretty sure it would fit. Here the Spec sheet for the 3YM30
It sure would be nice to have the extra HP when going against a 5 knot current

Kjretlaw, thanks for drawings. Do you have a 3YM30 fitted in your h326 now? If yes, could you post some photos of the fit? I did measured the compartment and finds it tight (fore-aft). Plus need to shave off the ridge of hull where the prop shaft will be.
Thanks.

We did the same measurements but never pulled the trigger on the project. It was redoing the shaft log that made us gun shy.
