Does anyone know if the CD-33 can be refitted with a Yanmar 28 HP? Presently my boat has a Universal Atomic diesel 5424, 24 HP, and I would like to increase the power as much as possible, within the allowed hull displacement ratio. Will a 28 horsepower be too much, or too little, and will it fit in the engine compartment..? Thanks.

Repowered with Yanmar 3GM through Orr's Island Boatworks in Maine. The engine fit fine and was much quieter than the original Volvo.zeida wrote: Does anyone know if the CD-33 can be refitted with a Yanmar 28 HP?

...and it has been super reliable ever since, I might add to what Chuck said (other than being slow to start when not warm).chuck wrote:Repowered with Yanmar 3GM through Orr's Island Boatworks in Maine.
