Re: Engines and fuel consumption with the A-25?
Ha ha, well yeah, the snap roll, there's that. Yah, you betcha, der A25 she not like der beam sea by golly. Best bet to deal with that is to quarter the waves as much as possible by tacking like a sailboat.

Re: Engines and fuel consumption with the A-25?
Burton,
Starting with $4K initial purchase leaves a lot of room to budget on improvements and upgrades before you've gone beyond market value like *cough* some folks you know have. That money spent on wiring is a worthwhile investment in safety. I don't know if you and others subscribe to BoatUS magazine but if you can get hold of the February-March 2021 issue that's just out, on page 70 under 'Practical Boater', Fear Of Fire, 37% of all fires on recreational boats reported over the period from 2015-'19 excluding off boat sources are caused be DC electrical problems and 9% caused by AC electrical, especially on older boats. I think I can say with confidence that Albin 25s fall into the 'older boat' category.

Re: Engines and fuel consumption with the A-25?
Sorry, just saw this! I do not have pictures, and we are away from the boat for three weeks. Isoflex has motor mounts which are a direct replacement for the Yanmar mounts. They are cheaper and about 100 times better. They are not just vulcanized rubber sticking to steel. We are away for three weeks, so I can’t get pictures until then.
