Engine:
The Yanmar 2QM15 in this vessel is a trusty and reliable 15 hp, 2-cylinder diesel engine. It has been winterized carefully every year, and every spring has received a refresh of spring maintenance. This engine is easy to work on and is easily accessible from multiple angles via both the starboard lazarette and companionway steps.
