Boating Factoid I found today....
Machinery
Diesel Engines:
9 x 9 Cylinder 58/64 (580 mm bore/640 mm stroke) medium speed, running
at 400 rpm, connected to individual alternators rated at 10.5
megawatts each. Builders: MAN. Augsburg, West Germany.
Thanks. Every time I see MAN diesels mentioned, I think back a few
years to that guy whos MAN diesel in his motoryacht blew up and ended
up in a nasty webpage.....
Wonder if he ever got a new engine? The connecting rod was sticking
through the case in the pictures....
