Sure there are plenty of heavy outboards around, but I don't know of any 4
hp units that tip the scales anywhere near that. I wanted one to go in the
lazarette on a Coronado 25. Anyway, thanks for the URL.

Yes, thank you. I knew Yanmar made them, but theirs start at 27 hp and
go up.

Does anyone know of a current manufacturer of small displacement
diesel
outboards, say, 6-10 hp?

Try:

Also check around for Ruggerini.

And in Australia, Britton Marine.


Try some Brit boating groups.



Uh, not really, for an outboard. There are plenty of outboards around
tipping the scales at 500 pounds. I have a 225 hp Yamaha, and I would
guess it weighs around that.

I don't recall what application you had in mind for a small diesel
outboard. If you need a modern, reliable and lightweight outboard, you
might take another look at the smaller two stroke or four stroke gasoline
engines. There isn't a large "western" market for diesel outboards, and
most of the units you'll encounter are overweight, primitive, and ugly.
The Yanmars are the exception.

Yes. Email me, and I will set you up. I was the first to design an
inboard diesel, but sold the company about 15 years a go. I did make a
tidy profit tho.

Harry,
thanks for the giggle.
