I searched past threads and have found a little information. But, not much. One, a VW diesel might be a little light for a sailboat application, and two, parts maybe hard to come by in some locales.
I am looking at a trimaran, approximately 10,000 displacement with a 50 hp VW diesel.
Does anyone have any thoughts and/or experience with a VW diesel in a cruising sailboat? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ray
