<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I agree that the 3GM is a bit big for the A30, but
not that much too big. I have a 2GM in my boat and it is fine. As to
the lack of a drip pan, no it isn't illegal and all of the older boats (with out
liners) don't have drip pans. With the newer boats, to put a deep
engine like the Yanmar, any pan must be removed. One could make a pan out
of plywood and glass it in, but I don't know of anyone who has. One
question would be what is the hull number, or does the boat have a wood
interior, or a fiberglass liner.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As to the drips, hard to say what/where they came
from. It could be a problem, or more likely a small spill during an oil
change that didn't get fully wiped off. I'm guilty in this respect, as I'm
sure most of us.</FONT></DIV>
