I’ve got a pair of 300 Suzuki’s and a bracket bought for mine. Not for the faint of heart and surely a bad investment but can get to them for service.. Mine is a flush deck and the yanmar was stuffed in tightly.
Time will tell.

The Yanmar was built by Toyota I have been told. Explains whey they run and run.

Yeah, the Yanmar 6LP-STE came from the Toyota Land Cruiser, but the 6 cylinder Land Cruiser engine was not sold in the US, hence we got super expensive parts in the colonies. ($280 for a belt tensioner) :shock:

sorry for the very delayed response lol.

motor performs great its a 4 cylinder 300hp. i run at about 3200rpms cruising at 18-19 knots burning about 11 gph. fortunately i was able to reuse the ZF trans from my peninsular.
without installation the motor will run you about $33,500 +/-

When it was time to repower our 2000 TE we stayed with the yanmar 315 6lpa st2. Staying with the yanmar was the best choice with our mechanic. Easy to do the work without having to replace throttle controls and gauges. We blew it up in the middle of summer so turnaround time was valuable. Very happy and a lot quieter than the 6lp sta
