Old Yanmar diesel engine, 21 feet boat

Gullholmensnipa 21 feet. Fiberglasshull. Built in 1970.
I have changed the engine to a Yanmar diesel, SB 12 1 cyl, 12 hp,1978. The old engine was a Albin O21 Kadett 12 hp,1950-55!?.

The exhaust pipe could do with a rain flap the same as they sell for tractors. With northern Europe getting about 1 metre of rain each year the wet gets everywhere. Another way is to put a jam jar or a coffee jar over the exhaust pipe (glass doesn't rust!). Nice old fashioned phut-phut sound and it should be very economical.

What are the smallest true diesel engines ? I've seen them on garden tillers.

Hello. The engine is ok, but they are old now, so check for rust and leaks in the cooling system, cylinderhead, cylinder, silencer. Saltwater is terrible for all engines. Check the lub oil system to, pressure and leaks. Take the boat out for a trip and check the temperature and oilpressure when the engine has it´s working temp.

Good luck.

If you could get a start up video it'd be awesome, if not its no problem. I'll just have to wait 2 months for the sailing season
