[C320-list] FW: Repowering- engine choices

[dickwalker]

The Yanmar is the only choice in addition to being the best engine it will
add great resale value sine the new boats have it.

After 750 hours and 10 years I Really like the YANMAR.

WE had a M-25 XP on our '86 Cat 30.  I was so happy to sell the boat and get
rid of glow plugs and zincs.



Cheers,

Hi folks,

 

Ok given the dearth of advice on rebuilding our old Perkins engine, we are
looking at repowering. I am thinking about 3 options:

 

A)     Volvo Penta D1-30

B)      Universal M-25XPB

C)      Yanmar 3YM30

 

Apart from costs, and resale value, I am also looking for quietness, as in
the summer we end up having to do a fair bit of motoring due to light winds
here in the Pacific N/W.

 

So what are folks thoughts on these repowering options (think I might be
opening floodgates here)!

 

Regards 
Bernie
