Yanmar replacement is expensive
I'm not the expert, so I strongly recommend that you search the archives. My memory is that a Yanmar will drop right in, but a new diesel will be expensive. But I think the Renault will drive the boat with the standard prop. I'd have a real diesel mechanic have a look at the Renault and make sure it is running right. If it is, then you'll probably be OK. A new prop is another project where you will want to find a supplier with knowledge to help with the selection. It's easy to pick the wrong pitch, and make the problem worse.

Try the Cherubini forum
Many of us 27 owners with the Renault lurk there or the midsize forum. FYI I have a 13 RH 10 prop that moves the boat quite nicely (2-blade.)
