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!

Janaki,
We carry all of the usual consumables as well as a spare alternator, starter motor, thermostat and a collection of relays. I hadn’t thought about sets of gaskets and hoses but that sounds like a good idea so thanks for the tip.
