    I have a polyester sailingboat type Daimio 700, built in 1975 (France). The boat was equipped with a Mercury 7.5 pk outboard engine. The old Daimio could last many years more. In such a case, a new diesel engine is an good investment. It improves the seaworthiness and up-front costs will be earned back with lower maintenance costs. See more at
