Hello,

thanks again for all the input on the 27 ft Newport,
I bought it. Now I am back with engine questions:

It is a Yanmar 2GMF, freshwater cooled. What
maintenance do I need to do? It starts and runs
nicely, no problems, just preventive maintenance.

It has seen very little use over the last years,
and probably not too much maintenance either.

On my list is:
- Engine oil
- Oil filter
- Transmission oil
- Fuel filter
- Impellers
- Zinc(s)
- Remove the old fuel from the tank
- Change coolant

Is that all that needs to be done, or am I missing
something important?

And, last not least:
What is the best source for Yanmar parts?

Last question: Is it possible to hand crank this
engine? If yes, is a crank that would fit on the nut
of the flywheel available somewhere?

Thanks again,

Chris


PS: One more rigging question:
I have an extra spare block on a car from the jib block track.
Can I use this one to replace a broken one on the boom?
The fastening is different, but can be made fit.
Rope diameters are the same, I am just nor sure about
working load.
