Default Re-power question ,, as to engine etc

Roger ,,, great info ,,this is why I lurk here. Sounds as if you have a
very sweet engine.

My AT4 is called a 30hp. But I have read numerous places that it never gave
more than 15hp or so.

On the repower front, a sailor I know has just repowered. He took out an
AT4. The AT4 probably needs some work. I am buying it from him for a
couple of bucks. I will send it out and get it rebuilt. This way I have
two engines!

Looks like I will be an AT4 man for some time. But if a good diesel comes
along,,, I will scoff it up.

Roger ,,, what size in hp is your Yanmar?


It's called a 20 hp but the rating standards have been changed since 1980
so it would be called a 15 today. The Yanmar rep at a boat show told me
that it was the same displacement as the 2 cylinder they now call a 15 but
I haven't checked the numbers myself.

I wasn't at full throttle in that squall either.

Gee Wiz Roger ... you would have to bring up that.

Oh, well ,, if you are out sailing and there is a big flash out around Cape
Elizabeth ,, it isn't a plane ...
