Lots of low end torque but unfortunately it weighs close to 400
pounds.

Not made for bass tournament or ski competition, but I'm sure they have a target for the application out there, somewhere.

Yup it must be some kind of work boat when it is twice as heavy as a
Honda BF50 4 stroke


"The Yanmar Dtorque 111 is lighter and more compact than petrol engines of similar capacity..."

I suppose it's all about what your definition of "capacity" is.


Oil pan capacity? ;-)
They may be talking about torque or something.
Over on the real boat board, people were pointing out that a 2 cyl 4
stroke will be a rough idling sommich.



My John Deere tractor had a 3 cylinder Yanmar diesel. You'd think it
would be rough idling but it wasn't at all. Great engine.
