Ranger 25 diesel clatter

[lloyds]

Having spent thousands of hours piloting small boats with Yanmar diesels I have found the best antidote to the "clatter" is not to leave them at idle and unloaded for long. Run up the rpm's a little and a lot of that noise becomes much more bearable. Near redline can be pretty bad too but midrange they are usually pretty decent. I kind of like the sound, and don't really object that much to the smell.
