yanmar diesel miracles!
 

440hp diesel engines around 800lbs.
what do you think about these engines????

(a galon fuel is 4usd here in Turkey)

timucin the Answer is How good is the Yanmar Dealer or Agency in Turkey ? For service and Backup ,Spare parts And Mechanics ?

We wanted to sell them to the Kuwaiti Coastguard and they Kind of backed away !

I have heard that the longevity is not that good ,A friend of mine is the Yanmar Agent in Bahrain and he stays on top of the engines :)

that a nice point!

you know what is funny all kinds of services SUX! in my country.

I am not interested in yanmar diesel engines for performance boating but this weight and this much power is very interesting.

I do not know anything about the yanmar engines but the graph's show you can easily receive 30-40 more hp by overboosting.engine makes its high at very low rpms and keeps a straight line to the end.this means (what I understand) it is limited by boost from the manufacturer .( I am not an expert !)
so I thought if their(japanese) marine engine is reliable as their cars ; it would be nice to have around 450hp's , cheap gas ,no-problem engines

timucin Rik at Arneson has a Yanmar engine/Drive package :)
