[Public-list] diesel engine

[Mike Lehman]

I have a 30HP 4 cyl Universal M4-30 in my Alberg. I get six knots regarless 
of the wind a sea conditions. Fuel consumption is 1/2 gal per hour. Fuel 
consumption drops when pulling water skiiers. The engine weighs 50 lbs less 
that the A4, which was one on my objectives to have less weigh aft.

We have a Renault RC8D engine. This is a single cyl 8
hp diesel. Two blade 13 in prop(i forget the pitch).
On flat water we get just under 6 knots.We usually run
it at about 5 knots if the wind dies and we have to
get home..If there is wind it stays shut down. Used
1/2 the 12 gal. tank for the season using the boat
every weekend and on wednesday night racing    Richard
