Powerful Yanmar Engine helps save woman from Waterspout

Mack Boring & Parts Co.

A high-quality, reliable engine is extremely important when encountering danger on the water, especially when it's unexpected. Bernadette Hoban of Brooklyn, New York can give abundant thanks to her dependable Yanmar 3YM20 inboard engine for helping bring her to safety after being chased by a waterspout in Oyster Bay, New York.

After enjoying a day of sailing with her friends, Hoban, who resides in Yanmar distributor Mack Boring and Parts Company's territory, was heading back to shore when she realized she was being followed. She turned around to find a dark funnel cloud within 100 yards of her brand new 32' Catalina boat and getting closer fast. Then, a fellow boater who knew Hoban radioed and told her to go faster. "He indicated I needed to put the throttle down in order to outrun the waterspout and I did," said Hoban.

That's when her Yanmar 3YM20 diesel engine really showed its power. "I was going as fast as I could but, the temperature gauge on the engine didn't raise a single iota," said Hoban, a sailor of seven years. "I was very impressed with its performance. It was powerful enough to take me to safety quickly but also strong enough that it wasn't stressed."

The 3-cylinder, 21 hp 3YM20 inboard provides reliable and efficient power. Easy to maintain and user-friendly, Yanmar inboards offer exceptional torque and powerful electrical systems in a whisper-quiet, low-vibration package. Yanmar engines distributed by Mack Boring are backed with a comprehensive warranty, reliable service, genuine parts and years of experience.
