Well, I finally got tired of fixing my engine every time I went out (or so it seemed), not to mention dealing with all the diesely rust under and around the thing. So I have gone for a brand new Yanmar 3YM30AE. It goes in this afternoon. It's pretty and shiny gray and I think I love it. However, I notice on one of the labels that it qualifies with all California emissions requirements. What does that mean in the real world (you know, the part that isn't in California)? I can't help thinking that it means seriously reduced efficiency and power. Running around with a 20-gallon fuel tank, that is a serious consideration. Can the assembled intelligence here give me some insight into what this means? Cheers Andy C&C 40 Peregrine
