Googled "Yanmar rebuild New England". Found this on a forum: "Contact Tom Cloutman of Cloutman Marine Services, Inc. of Marblehead, MA and Danvers, MA. Him and his crew are all Yanmar certified, affordable, reliable, friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all mobile. He is a second generation Yanamar guy, and knows his stuff. His phone number is (781) 631-9751. He is also a Yanmar parts dealer."
No knowledge of him. There may be others in your area. Maybe worth a second opinion. Couple hours from you. Engines aren't hard to yank out. I pulled the AT4 out of Touche' in about an hour and hauled it back to my house for sprucing up. Might get a better price if it's rebuilt in a shop rather than the boat. Dennis C.
