My 28' boat is on a lake......It has a Yanmar 1GM10 inboard fitted. In my view I don't need an inboard now, as she will never leave the lake, unless I sell her and a raving lunatic wants to pay to move her. So, I'm thinking to my self that I could use all the lovely space the motor takes up under the cockpit as a great extension to the living space as storage etc. If I wanted her to chug somewhere, I could do it with a used outboard.
So,(didn't someone moan about starting a sentence with "so") I started to see how much a used Yanmar 1GM10 would sell for in a reasonable used running condition.(I haven't got round to attempting to see if she runs after a 5 year standstill) so thought of taking it out, spanner cranking, if seized, unsieze it etc. getting it running and maybe selling it. It was new apparently in 1995. I cannot for the life of me find an ad, that has one under 1200 quid and they look nice used shiny ones, (mine isn't, and I'm not going to spend hours polishing it), so what would a rough thereabouts price be to ask for an average running engine with gearbox please and all the panel stuff etc? I would then buy an outboard and job done.
Also, it is tucked under the cockpit and I am confident of getting it out from there, but there is a fair lift to get it out of the hatchway as the cabin is deep down, I'm 6' and can stand up in it. How heavy are they really with all the ancillaries taken off and the gearbox seperate, are they still too heavy or is it a two/three man job? Ta.
