Greeting all, wife and I are on the hunt for a MS Pilot to "slow down" the type of boating we do after years of center consoles and fishing boats. We're going to go see a 34 today with dual Yanmar 240's, each with around 1000 hours on them. I've always done most of the maintenance myself over the years and I'm a little concerned about accessing the outer sides of the engines based on the photos I have seen of the 34's...
I was set on finding a single engine model and just curious to hear some feedback from people with the dual engine 34 if I am overthinking this aspect or not? Are there additional hatches on the sides to access the motor or do you have to crawl down the outer side of the engine to access it?
I think I can live with the extra maintenance and fuel consumption in exchange for some redundancy and reduced draft... Anything else I should be considering?
