Spare parts

[John Reid]

What spare parts would you recommend carrying for blue water sailing (ie, where you're going to be several days from land)? If it makes a difference, my engine is a Yanmar 3QM30 (1980)? Thanks.

3QM30 Spare Parts ...

For most every Yanmar engine we have put together a "minor" and a "major" spare parts kit. I would recommend that you at least carry the minor kit and a parts and service manual.The Minor Kit for the Yanmar 3QM30 is part number 3QM30MINOR and includes:Alternator Belt 25117-003151Fuel Filter 104500-55710Oil Filter 124550-35110Impeller 128296-42070Water Pump Gasket 124223-42110Zinc O Rings and Gaskets123210-09310, 124450-11681, 124450-42080Water Pump Seals124223-42080, 24422-153007Zinc 27210-200300Air Filter 124770-12540FF O Ring 24341-000440Bleeder Plug 124060-59380BP Washer 23418-060000Then there is the Major Kit for this engine, part number 3QM30MAJOR:This kit includes all of the above, plus:gasket set, Injector Seat and Gaskets, Lift Pump & Gasket, fuel Injector, thermostat & gasket, engine paint (not really important for an emergency), parts manual and service manual (which you should always have on board ... even if you do not purchase a "major" kit you should get these manuals on board).

Major Spares Kit is the Answer

We typically offer two types of spare parts kits. The minor spares kit contains filters, belts, etc. the so called common consumables.For blue water/ open water sailing we strongly suggest a major spares kit.This gives you the following items:BeltFiltersImpellerZinc and O RingGasket SetLift PumpPump gaskets and sealsParts and Service ManualsInjectorThermostatBleeder pluggasket chamberandheat insulatorPrice is $ 422 at www.marinedieseldirect.comIke Stephenson
