No problem, maybe I'm crazy and I missed it. Let me know if this doesn't work: http://www.yanmarmarine.com/theme/ya...heet_4JH45.pdf

It's easy to find for any Yanmar. Just go the product page for the engine from here: Products-Sailboat and small craft engines - Yanmar Marine Click on the engine you're interested in, and on the next page find the "Specification Data-sheet" download.

Well, for a non-hybrid. The hack for the Prius is to get the engine to not charge the motor battery.

We probably shouldn't suggest anyone start turning on/off their diesels while cruising to try to maximize fuel usage.

Two engines, worst case scenario. You think there's better than even odds it can't hit 6kt? (Serious question, not loaded.)

Again I never said that, WHY persist implying that I did?

I WILL NOT be called a liar by you or anyone else.
