Re: Why do people replace diesel engines in a sailboat?

I don’t judge him. It’s a philosophical discussion. I don’t judge anyone.

Re: Why do people replace diesel engines in a sailboat?

“Because you want to?”

That’s not a very good reason at all. What a waste of an engine, of a car, of a person.

This isn’t about being cheap. It’s about replacing something that doesn’t need...

Re: Why do people replace diesel engines in a sailboat?

I’m not sure it was so silly. If you have a functioning engine, yet it is a little older and out of date, why repower?

Re: Why do people replace diesel engines in a sailboat?
