Yanmar 480HP $40,000, Arneson $26,000, Bow thruster $5,000--- Total $71,000 2x Yanmar 480HP $80,000, 2x Arneson $52,000 --- Total $132,000 ... A lot of savings. Obviously 2x Yanmar would be the most ideal setup... but there is a lot to be said for $77,000 savings. I'm not sure I would want to have to maneuver a single with Arneson without a bow thruster. I've heard that can difficult. Plus if a B1 breaks... not too difficult to have a spare and swap off. If by chance you were to mess up an Arneson I have not idea what the turn around would be on repairs. As for the one unit aerating and the other blowing... I thought the torque was split no matter what, but I can't find anything to support that... I'll call geared up and see what they say. Where did you get that pricing for an "inline" Arneson ASD8? You are about $10K to much for each one. As far as breakage, there is very little to worry about there. The Yanmar 480's are no problem for the ASD8's as we package them with this engine and the Cummins QSB480's and they come with a warranty. :) |
That was the price I was quoted when I called... but that might have been for the bravo replacement kit. Whats the difference with the "inline" arneson? Does that include tranny, prop, steering, and water intake?

The marine gear would come on your engine from Yanmar as you would purchase a bob tail with gear from them. The rest is available from us other than the water pickup. |
That thing won't get on plane....
