[C38] Found a good engine here- Is it too big???

[Dick Kilroy]

Max: Don't know either of these engines. That said I woud'nt worry about the hours in either if they were properly maintained. I have a Yamar 3QM30 in my 1978 Morgan 38-2 in it's 34th year, owner maintained by me, have no idea of the hours as there is no meter. Yanmars are great.

  Hi everybody,


  A couple of yanmars have been removed from a cat here, one is a Yanmar 3JH4E  in very good condition with just 552 hours and only four years old. The engine is also 3 cylinder, weights 20lbs less with exactly the same size as my Universal 5424. The main difference is that tis engine has 40hp. Is the same engine that Catalina Yachts installs on their new Catalina 387. Which has a similar weight as ours. I haven't heard of any C38 with this engine yet...
  What I don't like is that yanmar recommends a 3" exhaust....


  So what do you think about the big yanmar???? need votes!!!!


  The other yanmar is smaller... is a 3GM30 27 hp, which I know that it fits, but this one has 912 hours and is much older.......


  All comments will be appreciated!!!
