Default 30 HP Yanmar: Repower v. Rebuild?

A new 2GM20 will put out about the same power, perhaps more


The new 2 cylinders are called 15 HP engines but it is the ratings that have
changed; not the engines. Our "20"QM is really a 15.


The Yanmars, old and new, are work horses. Ours has 1200 hours and about
all I need to do is change the oil and inspect the rest -- and keep the
fuel clean, the only problem we've had other than a plugged cooling line
at the inlet.


This is a universal sentiment among Yanmar owners. I've seldom heard a
point of view expressed so consistently about a type of machinery.
