Who knows.
I don't think those labels make any difference any more. Manufacturers
aren't really manufacturers any more, just brokers for obscure
manufacturer contractors noone ever heard of.
Quite a bit cut

Larry ,, you once again make sound points. I am at the "just looking" stage
so I'm able to look, think, decide.
One funny quirt of the diesel marine engine market; there are no prices on
their web sites. Take a look at Beta.
They have just about everything and anything a boat owner would ever need to
know when thinking about or actually
doing/installing a repower. But NO PRICES. Nope. It always says "call
this xxxx number for a price". I find this very strange.
I wonder if it is because they use a Kubota motor and just marine it.
I think I understand the "marine changes" part but now I'm not sure.
What if a boat owner just bought a Kubota motor, like the one that Beta
uses. What is the difference between the Kubota and the
marine Beta. I realize that the motor will need a heat exchanger,
alternator, etc.
Do you know?
Any other well thought out ideas?
Thanks
In Thailand it is quite common to find Kubota engines in boats. There
is a shop just down the road that builds them. The ones here come,
second hand, from Japan, get a water cooled manifold installed
(usually) and a long propeller shaft and are mounted on open fishing
boats.
I did ask the builder how they ran and he said that they seemed to
last for ever.
