Lots of low end torque but unfortunately it weighs close to 400
pounds.

Not made for bass tournament or ski competition, but I'm sure they have a target for the application out there, somewhere.

Yup it must be some kind of work boat when it is twice as heavy as a
Honda BF50 4 stroke


"The Yanmar Dtorque 111 is lighter and more compact than petrol engines of similar capacity..."

I suppose it's all about what your definition of "capacity" is.


Oil pan capacity? ;-)
They may be talking about torque or something.
Over on the real boat board, people were pointing out that a 2 cyl 4
stroke will be a rough idling sommich.


Did you see the exploded view of the dual crankshaft design?

"The benefits of the engine design are many, most significantly that the two-counter-rotating crankshafts offer perfect primary balance of the engine and a smoothness normally associated with six-cylinder petrol engines, not two-cylinder engines of any type, and particularly not diesel engines. With a lack of vibration inherent in the design, a Neander engine does not need the weighty vibration-absorbing robustness of a traditional diesel."
