[C38] Yanmar 3GM

[Don Strong]

Ken: The previous owner of our Discreet Charm replaced a Universal known 
as The Antichrist with a Yanmar 3GM30, 27 hp. We have owned the boat for 
14 years with nary an engine failure. The elbow on the exhaust riser 
cracked and was replaced about 4 years ago. We have a two blade 
Flex-o-Fold prop, which is wonderful; can't recall the size. Yanmar has 
replaced the 3GM with a 3 YM.
