Topic: Repower Contessa

I am looking at replacing my engine.

My first choice would be a Yanmar. Any suggestions on sources for either new or rebuilt units?

Thanks

Jim

Re: Repower Contessa

I bought a new Yanmar 1GM10 with transmission and all new back to the prop for $8,500 in 2002. The price included installation. John Moore, the Yanmar dealer, was very patient with me guiding me through problems with oil consumption and a need to bleed for two years until we got all the bugs out.
This diesel weighs a third less than the old 8hp Arouna and pushes my contessa at hull speed or better.
Happy boy!
