I know it is green but who actually makes it ?

One of the reasons I bought a JD CUT was because of the Yanmar engine. I've owned and rented (bareboat charter) many sailboats with Yanmar engines and found them to be extremely reliable.

"Could you 'splain that in English??? "

If Production needs product to ship, the most frequent quality disposition is "Use As Is".

However, as a guy who has worked all levels of manufacturing Quality Assurance/Control, I can assure you Engineers and Designers give themselves a fairly good margin of safety in a design. A good rule of thumb (maybe not "good", but frequently used...) is to allow a manufacturing tolerance of about 50% of what's required for a product to assemble or function.

That's the straight story, folks. Again, as a Quality Assurance guy, it's frustrating but it's a fact of life in the manufacturing world.

All I know is Yanmar has a Top Notch reputation in the mairne world. They didn'y get there by doing slap shod work. I'm sure QC could benefit from being a little tighter in ALL companys. Why does everything have to boil down to a paint debate, Good Grief
