Yanmar grey with grey hi-lights!
Greetings,
Mr. LaBomba. Yup, looks green to me but it appears to be mounted sideways like the ?what-ever-it-is? in Mr. 45's What's This thread. Nice and clean however.
What's the color of your boat's engine(s). My John Deere is white. Thought it would be green.
My CAT is white and I thought it would be yellow.

I believe Cat paint their marine diesels white and their landside engines Cat beige.
A slightly more affordable dream than an Alaska 46. But with so much time/effort/$ invested in the IG,it will be around a long while. I just had a long chat with the PO 1985-2009 (there was a one year owner, who died, between us), he filled some gaps; and a scare, he once locked up the port engine with a rope entanglement, damaging the engine mounts as well as needing major engine work!I'm seeing a common theme here Between you and the 380's Bruce. Sounds to me like somenones in Luuurve hehehe.

When I bought Delfin she was empty except for the main and a disconnected, but new genset. The PO said it was white to begin with, but thought the standard CAT yellow looked better, so he painted it before dropping it in.The Cat engines I've seen in their heavy equipment have all been the same yellow color as the equipment. Don't know what color their truck engines are.
Their marine engines are typically white from photos and actual boats with them that I've seen but there are exceptions. For example, the 420hp Cat diesel that Carey had installed in his 36' lobsterboat is Cat yellow, not white.
Original Lehman red. In need of some touch-ups. Does anyone know the appropriate paint to use?
