I was wondering if it would be possible to take an engine from a site generator, and use it as a power unit for a yacht? It occurs to me that , unlike ex-truck engines, a generator runs under constant load, is usually fairly well maintained, so maybe would be a better proposition than a thrashed-out vehicle engine. As they are air cooled, would it be possible to use them? I have heard of air cooled auxiliaries - wouldn't this be an advantage in terms of avoiding water intake/blockage problems?
