Wayne the vibration of that single cyl. diesel had to be obnoxious,

I guarantee it was so bad on a Yanmar YAM-12, (a one lunger)
installed in a 30ft sloop that it broke at least 3 sets of of engine
mounting bolts.

Solution was to install an AquaDrive CV joint. Solved the problem
and reduced the vibration sound level by at least 25dB.
