 Guys : Who ever wrote this in WiKi needs to correct it:

The Catalina 34 has had at least three different motors. The M25, a 21hp engine, was installed on the the early models. The M25XP (23 hp) became standard in 1988. The M30, a 4 cylinder producing 28hp, became an optional engine about the same time and is standard in the Mark II. All are produced under the Universal Motors brand (now Westerbeke Corporation). Due to lack of available supplies, the factory occasionally installed a Yanmar engine (note: Yanmars are higher-compression engines, which do not require glow plugs).

Here is the correct information as as I don't believe that the M30 engine was ever install by the factory in a C34  ....."1987.  In 1990 the M35 , a 4 cylinder producing 30hp became an option and the standard in 1991.  When the Mark II was introduced in 1995 a new M35BC 4 cylinder, 35hp engine became the standard until the end of production."

The bit about Yanmar engines is correct.

A few thoughts
