If you speak to your chosen builder, they will be able to help you decide with what they usualy fit.

I got the impression OP initially wanted a sailaway to fit out himself using his joinery skills and his workshop, which would save a lot of labour costs. Though this sounds logical it may not work easily in practice as he may be discovering.

Vetus is renowned for cheap diesel engine install and expensive spares.

I'm not sure who would be doing the electrics, if its electric propulsion there are quite a few extra considerations before writing the first cheque....

I doubt that with all the list of diesel related parts (including a diesel tank, diesel filler, diesel hoses etc) he is plannig for electric propulsion, although, he may have a diesel fired range in the galley !

Diesel generator.

Im sure electric propulsion was on the original agenda, maybe there has been a reassement.

Thank you LadyG, I was confused by a previous thread.

If the OP is thinking of installing a Yellow engine, then from his request for pointers to paten parts, he will be aware of the cost of genuine parts. This could be an ongoing expense.

I think then that giving a Vetus engine a swerve, and installing a different make would be a sensible move.

Vetus often use small Mitsubishi plant engines. There may be some parts interchangeability. 

 

I would rather a Beta Marine unit personally.

My boat has "electric propulsion". It also has a diesel generator/tank/filler/hoses, because otherwise it would be largely unusable for cruising for much of the year, or cruising time/distance/speed would be limited... 😉

Yes, but isnt it one of those  built in generators, which one assumes comes with fittings, or at least some instructions? I thought the generator is used to top up the batteries?

What I'm saying is that posting a list of parts and looking for cheaper alternatives. (forgive me if this is not the reason for the list), is not the approach most people use.

Maybe the OP could clarify.

Of course, but it still needs all the same diesel fittings on the boat (tank, filler, inlet, piping, hoses, filters...) as a diesel propulsion engine.

Yes he might be aware of the cost, but he might not be aware that other options may be available which might be better.

I have an Isuzu and touch wood I've never needed any spares.  My preference is to go for one of the engines which is known to be fitted in hire boats, they take a bit of hammer.

I think the OP may not be providing all the info required to get best advice from those on here who have engineering experience.
