We are trying to put together a sensible list of engine spares for a Pacific crossing. The engine is a Yanmar 4JH4AE with about 800hrs.
The boat is not huge so we need to find the right balance between safety and excess.
Our assumption is that you can ship anything anywhere if you are willing to wait long enough so we want to focus on stuff that is a) more likely to fail and b) can be fixed at sea.
Has anyone made such a list or can make recommendations?

Thanks a lot!

Hi Brian,
Perhaps, this stream could be put in a refrigeration section?
Thought ahead of time should be given to working on your refrigeration system if you are going farther afield.
Refrigeration can be a bit of a mystery and people can certainly make a mess of it, but for wandering off the beaten path, some ability to deal with refrigeration is very handy.
I have only experience with Sea Frost equipment. SF makes things easy as they have Schrader type valves on the high and low pressure sides which allow quick and secure connections to be made by the valve assembly. This allows the refrigerant to be added, something I need to do every couple of years.
Most work involves adding refrigerant. I have used the automotive R134A cans for years. I was not aware that the oil levels were different. I will look into that as an issue.
My best, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy
