If a "blower" is defined by you as a turbo (i.e. .., device to increase
air flow into the cylinders), then you are in error. I know several
people with 2 stroke DD 6-71's. Some are naturally aspirated, some have
turbos (blowers).

Richard,
All 2 stroke DD series whether inline or V configuration 71- 53's- 92's
even the old 110's etc.. have blowers, Naturally aspirated (NA) or
turbocharged (TI) . The 6v53 in my boat is a NA with a blower. UD


An engine is, by definition, either naturally aspirated or not. If it
has a blower (supercharger) or turbocharger it is not naturally
aspirated.

Hmmmm.... are you saying that this is an "altitude" engine and is
equipped with a "sea level" boost? It might make some sense if you are
boating at 10,000 feet, otherwise I don't get it.

Even if turbonormalized, the engine is not NA......
