Yanmar

hotrodmarlin · 04-13-2007, 12:54 PM

We plan on repowering our 32 Albemarle with Yanmar 6LYA-STP (370hp) with ZF IRM 220A gear. Any comments or suggestions?

We had 3126 Cats in it but they were just too big for the engine room and almost impossible to work on. We've already pulled the Cats out.

The Yanmar 370hp are good engines and a good fit for the 32 Albe. You should be happy with them. Try to get them from Masters in FL.

hotrodmarlin, here is a link to a thread i started. you should get in touch with sea witch he went through the same repower and will give you some good insight. is your 32 the express or the convertible? we are looking at repowering in the future but are looking at the 330 cummins. keep us posted on how the process goes.

What r u doing with the Cats?

Yanmar 370 is a very nice package for the 32. I think you'll be pleased.

Mackey would you happen to know Masters phone number?

Bandit thanks for the info and the link. I'ts an express boat.
I'll keep you posted on the progress and how it works out. I've only heard good things about the yanmars so I hope we are not let down.

I had the spelling of their name wrong, its Mastery not Masters. Their main number is 1-800-545-4574. Hopefully you will be able to deal with them since techincally you are in Mack Boring's district. Mastery has been a great help in the past where as my dealing with Mack Boring have been a pain.
Also Albemarle should be a wealth of knowledge on the setup of these engines in your express since they were the preferred engine when Albemarle and Cat were having issues over de-tuning their new 3126 to keep them in 300/350 hp range.

i am putting 3126-350 hp engines in a 29 blackfin.they are tight but the 3116s were also. i got used to it. there really was nothing i could not access, i just needed to spend the time.a couple questions..... do you need to change the wheels? the yanmars turn much faster, dont they?were you happy with the 3126 other than the tight fit?you probably need more horse anyway, dont you?i cant wait to see the final fit. and i love the dealer network of caterpillar. not to be rude, but i dont think you,ll find the same with yanmar.cat is everywhere.that made it easy for me. filters, parts, etc, just a short drive from almost anywhere. good luck with it though. a friend has yanmars and he loves them.
