The Amazing Things Being Said About Diesel Outboards...
Are all True!
In the years since Yanmar introduced the diesel outbbard engine it has created waves of excitement in the world of marine power. Now, instead of the fickle performance common to so many gasoline engines, the diesel outboard presents a level of stability, savings and long-term strength that make pure sense to the commercial operator. Tested through time and trials, these engines have proven to live up to Yanmar's aims, gaining both spectacular and solid achievements. Twin Yanmar diesel outboards powered a seacraft for the first time across the Pacific from San Francisco to Hawaii; a record 2250 miles of non-stop running using only 385 gallons of fuel. Other diesel outboards are ppwering the economies of numerous coastal communities. Now in expanded production, the Yanmar diesel outboard is ready to serve even wider in a broad array of commercial duties.
To create this remarkable outboard unit, Yanmar built the world's smallest and lightest diesel engine in its class. This is a directly water-cooled, 4-cycle powerpack with a weight-to-output ratio as low as 1.69kg/hp. Compared to an equivalent automobile engine this diesel delivers far more power per kilo.
A new diesel image
Not only does this compact unit set new horizons for the utility of the diesel, but it does so sedately. Gone is the high whine of the gasoline outboard, instead you get the pleasant rumble of the diesel. And this message of stable power comes to you almost vibration-free, easier on your boat and on your mind.
User-friendly
You'll enjoy the many helpful facilities of the Yanmar diesel outboard, such as the spring-assisted tilt-up and the tilt shock absorber with auto-lock.
Nice to work with
Handling is also a pleasure and good boat control becomes second nature with these diesel outboards. Helping their smooth performance is a floating lever type governor using a new ceramic material.
Stays good looking
There are as many as five separate coats of protection on a Yanmar outboard diesel. From the strong anti-corrosive base to the hard- wearing finish, you have an engine made to stay smart. And there are double anti-corrosion anodes, on the bracket and case, to further protect your engine.
