[alberg30] thanks for help

[Guy Lalonde]

Hi Tom.

466 has a Volvo Penta 2002 diesel (2 cyl. 18hp), which was installed in 1984
by a previous owner. Runs very nicely. It has one of those compression
release gizmos and can be hand cranked. Not knowing much about the different
brands of engines out there, I had assumed they could all be hand cranked.

It's a good feeling knowing you can hand crank if all else fails.
