I agree, get yourself a nice Beta 37 ½ HP diesel, and a 3 blade flex-a
– fold. I replaced a 4-108 with one of those Kubota’s, the mounting
was about 2 inches narrower, I just had to get some 3” aluminum (or
maybe 4”) angle to replace the old steel angle. You will be amazed at
how much lighter it is from the Perkins.
An old slip neighbor also had a 39, he replaced his atomic with a 30
HP Yanmar, and was disappointed with the loss in power. But it will
still get you from A to B.

An Atomic 4 puits out 30 HP at 3600 RPM, so unless the original
install had the A4 with the reduction gear, something is very wrong
with the Yanmar if it cannot equal the A4. Most A4 powered boats with
direct drive are maxing out at maybe 22-24 HP.
