I just bought a sailboat with a Yanmar engine and am discovering the joys of buying Yanmar spare parts. I'll spare you the rant, you've probably heard it all before. So, where does a Massachusetts boater buy Yanmar spares? Ideally I'd like to be able to order online. Specifically, I'm looking to put together a standard spares kit: belts, filters, gaskets, fluids, impeller, etc.

Also, where do I buy marine diesel lube oil (e.g Rotella, Delvac)? Chandleries don't sell it, can I buy it at car parts stores?

You might try Niemiec Marine. Mass is in there shipping area.

You can buy diesel motor oil at just about any auto parts store or truck stop. Check the engine owner's manual for the exact recommended oil viscosity and SAE letter code. Use the manufacturer recommended oil type. Try to find out what the precious owner used and if it is the right type oil keep using it.
