HI All,
I am looking at a 54 with a Yanmar 4JH3-HTE diesel engine. I have not had it surveyed yet, pending an initial price agreement subject to survey. The engine has 6900hrs on it, no formal service history, just self serviced by the owner. Does anyone have experience with this engine model? and if so what's the general opinion regards performance and reliability? How many hours of normal life would be average for a regularly maintained and not abused engine?
