[Alberg30] Atomic 4 weight

[sousa, stephen]

Folks,

We are currently running a 13 h.p. Model 2GM20F Yanmar in Carina Vela hull
#114. I replaced the rear main oil seal this spring, engine is 12 or so yrs
old. I have worked on numerous diesel and was impressed by the design of the
Yanmar and machining of the rear main retainer and o-rings for seals. My
findings have been that the best way to judge an engine is perform major
repairs and judge the quality from that aspect. This engine has run flawless
over the years but has been maintained by both owners. If I were to spec a
replacement for the 2GM20F, I would recommend greater than 13 h.p., in the
rivers and a strong head sea I could use more push to move the Alberg along.


I cannot speak to the boats with hull liners or the oil pan issue. 

Hope this information assist in the decision making.

Stephen Sousa
#114

Ian ... I can tell you from experience you do not want anything much
heavier than say 350 lbs. I believe the A-4 was a little over than 300.
My Alberg had a 600 lb. Westerbeke 30 in it when I bought it and it made
her squat pretty bad. I too am without an engine at the present and am
really having a devil of a time deciding what to put in. I defiantly
will go with something which weighs LESS than 300 lbs.... preferably
about 250.
	I am looking at a Beta and also the Universal diesel. I also like
Yanmar but am told the Yanmar has too deep of an oil pan for my 1970
Alberg. Since I will have to do the install myself ... ease of
installation is a big consideration.
