Outfitting - Part 3 Mechanical Systems

As with all boats our mechanical systems are dominated by the auxiliary diesel engine. In our case we will have a 4 cylinder Yanmar. We will not have a generator on our boat, instead we will have other electricity generating alternatives, which we will discuss in a future post.

With the mechanical systems we have focused on ease of maintenance, which is made much easier with the large engine room on the HR:
