My Yanmar 30 HP gave up the ghost 2 years ago. It had 4000 engine hours and 32 years of life. Before we started cruising I never had an issue with it. The new Yanmar is lighter, slightly smaller and a lot less noisy. Based on my experience I would never again leave to go cruising with a diesel at 4000 hours of typical summer runtime.
