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.Â* You'd think it
would be rough idling but it wasn't at all.Â* Great engine.

Dunno, just repeating what I heard. My only diesel experience is with
the 6-71s on the CG 40 footers and I was not a snipe so I was more of
the "hold this" guy. I know they sounded sweet when we were going tho.
That was at my reserve unit and we had two guys who were mechanics at
International Harvester. They worked on trucks all day long and they
had those suckers running like a sewing machine.



It could be that three cylinders allow it to run smoother than two.
BTW ... those DD 6-71s are two stroke diesels in case you were unaware.



Mercury Marine and several others have high horsepower diesel outboards
under development and maybe in production or close to it. I saw a model
claiming 200 hp a couple of years ago at a boat show...don't remember
the brand name, ?X something or other?
