Sandance inboard 9hp engine - Yanmar 1GM10

We were informed that the auxiliary engine a Yanmar 1GM10 had clocked 130 hours running time since new.
The old twin fuel tanks were disconnected and removed along with the fuel piping, and a new 31 litre plastic fuel tank was installed in the stern locker.

Quay Marine of Fairlie serviced the engine, replaced all the electrical wiring, and connected the new fuel tank.
The water pump was heavily corroded which was repaired and a new impeller, gasket, o ring and cover bolts were fitted. The engine and gearbox oil was removed and a new oil filter was installed along with fresh engine and gearbox oil.
A battery isolater switch was fitted along with new starter motor cables.
