Oh you mean the ONLY 80HP diesel OB you've ever seen??


Well, I haven't actually seen it, Karen. All you've posted are some
****-poor photos that show a rusting hunkajunk that looks like an old
Chrysler outboard on steroids. I have seen a Yanmar diesel outboard,
though, of something like 35 or 40 hp, and it didn't look anything like
that piece of crap hanging on the back of your piece of crap boat.

No they wouldn't because they didn't design anew they tried to put a
diesel OB together in the same manner a 2 stroke petrol is. This meant
they couldn't go much bigger that 38HP, it took me & my blokes to
actually design & build bigger full OB diesels, which have no upper
limit given available diesel cores. Thanks for the headsup on that; even
if you're as dumb as dirt you occasionally fluke it.


By the way; several more

have been built & that one is still going although it's still a test bed
so has had lots of changes along the way.




Have you figured out which alloys to use that don't rust in salt water?

Hmmm I got into trouble years ago for telling you too much but the
short answer is "yes":-)
