[Alberg30] Diesel replacement

[schuylki at vanent.vanebros.com]

>Do you crank your diesel by hand?
It's an option. Air temp. or engine has to be fairly warm-or an adreneline
surge caused by fear. It goes much better if there is another person to
work the decompression lever so I can use both hands on the crank. Easier
cranking is another good reason for a smaller HP engine.

>What is the range, in terms of hours at 5 knots in calm
water (since if it's rough,

I have a 15 gal. fuel tank and burn 1/2 gal/hr. at a little over 5 knots.
That's a 15 HP. Yanmar. Basically, I figure I can motor the length of the
Chesapeake Bay
