Nice highlight of engine technology, remember that most of the this technology transfers to today's modern diesels too. "Gas engines have become a...
It will not see 40 or 40+ knots with that power package as advertised. I am still unaware of any 35/36 production Flybridge SF that has hit that...
Volvo Penta will have greater purchasing power for the GM blocks used in this OB and hopefully can bring the price down a bit. They usually put an...
I am more interested in the upcoming 300hp diesel outboard from an English company, Cox Marine, with some F1 like technology .
I am surprised that the 6V-92 has a gear ratio of 2.0/1, would have expected more like 1.75 or even 1.5. I would double check just to be on the...
2300/2.0 = 1150 shaft rpm. For the Cummins, 2600/1150 = 2.26 gear ratio. So continue with a gear as close to 2.26 as possible. ZF will be lighter....
It is on yachtworld with drawings as well. I am on my iPad and suck on going back and forth otherwise I would share the link, probably have to ask...
Countach was launched in 1995, had big power DD 16V-149's, I think it had an owner with a fast cruise requirement from the beginning. Found a...
Let's see how far back we can go for this country kitchen thing, I'll start with the 1988 Westport 98' RPH M/Y "Golden Delicious", now "Destiny"....
So give me year when she started the Country Kitchen craze, I am not so sure I buy into the East Coast media bias without some dates. And don't...
I'll disagree on your definition and have to side with RER. We saw these early on in the West Coast, usually in the early Raised Pilothouse...
What is the current gear ratio on the DD 6V-92? It is a 2300 rpm and you should try and match the propeller rpm with the new engine in order to...
Gas inboards are not immune to EPA emission requirements, which now include catalysts for new builds. The gas inboard yacht market, not counting...
A dedicated system for 30 - 50 gallons seems a lot cleaner than the jerry jug system most diesel boats use for their OB powered ribs/inflatables.
Some of the larger OB powered Center Consoles are going to diesel gen sets with their own small fuel tank. I assume because of CO risks at...
Wow, that is some tough luck there, I have seen worse but am trying to erase it from my memory!
So the Army has different criteria, really just a set power for a limited amount of time, then rebuild and start all over. EPA emissions get...
Briefly, the military market was not the main reason for the introduction of the Series 92, it was the most cost effective way to go up the hp...
I like the idea of a back-up sea water pump. Do you tee it off the same raw water pick-up if you do not have a sea chest system? Do you alternate...
One comment I have to make is that determining the waterline for any vessel, new build or retrofit, is indeed an exact science. Having done...
