In general, for my search for a boat I have searched only for those with Cummins Engines. Parts are cheap and available, and mechanics are readily available to work on them. However, there are some boats that I might consider that come up with the Yanmar engines such as the 6LPAs and the 240HP 4 cyl. I have eliminated the 6 cyl from consideration for such things as Valve seal issues and more stringent maintenance requirements. But how about the 4 cyl 240s? Compared to the higher HP 6 cyl., are they less demanding, with less maintenance requirements, checks, etc. ?? Trying to determine if the 4 cyl Yanmar might be a different machine when comparing to the 6 cyl. as far as reliability and maintenance costs are concerned. Thanks
