Yanmar 1GM10 to Beta 10hp replacement

[Tranona]

One day I expect my 1GM10 will have to go. When it does, I may give Beta a miss. It seems to me that there is general doubt about them on these forums ... a suggestion that they may be a bit cheap and cheerful. Perhaps I'm wrong, but on the whole it seems that I see good reviews from people who have just fitted Betas and worries about, for example, heat exchanger longevity, from those who have had them longer.

You are wrong. Heat exchanger not a problem if you change the anode and clean the tubes. Or buy a Nanni which has a different design of heat exchanger,and is a nicer colour.

The Beta 28 which we fitted in our Snowgoose Equinoxe eight years ago hasn't given us a moments trouble, starts at first touch, runs sweetly, lots of power and economical.
