The Yanmar 4JH-TE on our C&C 44 went bang on the weekend. It was the last thing on the boat that hadn't been replaced so in some ways it is a relief to replace it. It is unclear whether we will go new or remanufactured at this point. I have been appalled in the past at Canadian pricing on Yanmar parts and I suspect complete engines would be the same. Nonetheless I will probably get a quote from a Canadian dealer. Who in the US would be recommended to get a quote from? We were happy with Bay Shore Marine on our way through Annapolis, does anyone have experience buying a complete engine from them? Is there compatibility with engine mounts , exhaust etc between the various Yanmar models? (4JH, 4JH2, 4JH3, 4JH4, 4JH5) If so this could open up the number of potential replacements. For remanufactured Schooner Bay Imports (Al Holzer) in WI seems to be highly recommended. Our current model is 56 hp but I think anything above 46 hp would be sufficient so the non turbocharged versions would work fine and of course the more recent non turbo versions have the same or higher horsepower. Any guidance on who to contact based on your experience would be appreciated. Thanks, Jon
