New Yanmar saildrive installation

[arjan]

When I installed beta marine engines in my catamaran a long time ago I bought fiberglass engine mounts from Beta marine. I am now installing Yanmar 3ym30ae engines with SD25 saildrives but I have been unable to find the engine beds or any info about this.. Does Yanmar make these or do I have to fabricate them myself?

Thanks

Mack Boring, the Yanmar distributor on the East coast sells a "custom made" engine bed for most of the Yanmar saildrive product.

From what they imply, this is not a Yanmar product, but something they have made or out sourced, and it requires some drilling and tapping by the installer.

Yanmar used to make them. Were rather light weight and it's a bunch of work to change beds. Maybe better to modify existing.
