New Yanmar engine upgrade for Mylor's Water Taxi

Published on: 24/08/2017

The first of the new, smaller Yanmar common-rail diesel engines to be supplied by Barrus in the UK is powering the Mylor Yacht Harbour Water Taxi.

The Salcombe 21 has been fitted with a Yanmar 4JH45, 45hp common-rail fuel injected engine, which is one of a range of four all-new diesels with power ratings of 45, 57, 80 and 110hp.

Mylor Yacht Harbour located in Falmouth, Cornwall, is a state of the art marina which offers some of the best sailing waters in Europe. With 150 berths and over 240 swinging moorings as well as a large visiting pontoon, Mylor has a range of off and onshore facilities to cater for the boat owner. The 21ft water taxi based at Mylor Yacht Harbour in Falmouth, Cornwall, services the 240 swinging moorings all year round and can carry up to 12 passengers. The taxi is kept very busy with typically 25,000 passenger trips each year.

 “Knowing Yanmar engines well, we were confident that the new 4JH45 common-rail unit would be a perfect fit to give us the power and reliability we require to provide the quality service our customers have come to expect,” commented Judith Ball, Marketing Manager, Mylor Yacht Harbour Ltd. “As a Yanmar Dealer, it also means we are able to demonstrate the engine’s capabilities to hundreds of our water taxi customers who could potentially be future buyers.”
