Loved my Beta re-power in my Bristol 30 Great support and simple design. EASY to maintain with oil pump etc.

He could easily remote the oil filter for ease in changing it, and he got the oil change pump option, as well. He said the price was several thousand less than going with a Yanmar; and he gets parts at Kubota tractor shops.

I've run out of band-aids! Was wondering what experience others might have had repowering a 33 Mk II? The Yanmar 3YM 20 is the logical replacement choice but comes at a 20-25% price premium over other brands of comparable horsepower e.g Beta. The tight space in the engine compartment is a major challenge but nothing that $$$ can't solve within reason. Any advice or experience from other 33 Mk II owners would be much appreciated.
