More than eye appeal
John Deere engines offer advantages
beyond a good first impression
Clean isn’t always the word that comes to mind
when describing a commercial fishing vessel, but
then again, you haven’t stepped aboard the Assurance.
The vessel is owned and operated by Ron
Andersen, a third-generation fisherman with
Norwegian roots who keeps his vessel about as
immaculate as anyone could hauling in loads of
Dungeness crab and Albacore tuna.
So it’s no surprise when Ron was looking to
replace his gen-set and propulsion engines for the Assurance, the John Deere Power Tech 4045TFM and 6125AFM marine engines caught his eye.
“I just like the sleek look of the
engines,” states Ron. “ John Deere
engines are the cleanest looking out of
all of them. They’re simple … designed
just the way I wanted them. The fewer
hoses and piping hanging off of the
engines, the less things can go wrong
with them.”
