Are there any environmental advantages of Yanmar engines?
Yanmar is focused on nature for a long time. Respect for nature is part of our mentality. That’s why Yanmar engines are not only environmentally compliant, but are in general ahead of upcoming emission regulations. And that’s why Yanmar has won several prizes for preventing air pollution and acts according to local and international rules.

What are the advantages of fresh water-cooling?
Fresh water gives less corrosion on internal parts. A smaller area of contact with raw water has less chance to corrode the engine. Note: keep an eye on the correct mixture of fresh water.

"Power to weight is a vital commodity"

"At Sydney Yachts our reputation is based upon innovation, performance and technical excellence. Beginning life as Bashford Boatbuilders in 1982, Sydney Yachts now boasts an impressive Board that includes famed designer and America's Cup skipper, Iain Murray.

Today Sydney Yachts is Australia's largest production yacht manufacturer. The striking line up of Sydney branded yachts includes seven models beginning with the Sydney 32 and rounding out at the Sydney 60.

All of these boats are sold with Yanmar marine diesel engines installed as standard equipment ... because we regard them as being the very best engine for our product and customers.

Yanmar is the lightest for its size, and in yachts power to weight is a vital commodity. The engines are totally reliable and our customers readily accept Yanmar because they are familiar with the Yanmar brand as a quality product with international back up and support.
At Sydney Yachts we have been installing Yanmar marine diesel engines for the past twelve years, virtually on an exclusive basis. We would not be so supportive of the brand if it wasn't for the performance of the engines and the back up offered by Yanmar.

The majority of owners of the Sydney range are cruiser-racer yachtsmen. The Yanmar engine is used to get in and around moorings, marinas and harbours. Everyone knows how important it is to have a reliable main engine on board. Yanmar delivers every time for Sydney Yachts."

The logical power-to-prop direct drive combines all the advantages of the outdrive-inboard systems and has now been well accepted in boating circles.

The Saildrive has been found to improve boat balance, give more maneuvrability and better thrust. Drive by the famous Yanmar diesels, these Saildrives put a lot of dependable power in the right place in a boat.

Easily installed with a toughened, thru-hull fitting the new SD50 drive unit smoothly takes the rugged power of the JH diesels, which are now expanded up to 75hp.
