Inboard Gas Engine ?
On my first boat I stole my Grandmas Victrola, the wind up
type, and hooked it up to a fan blade. Worked well until Granny found out. Scotty "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... You can even use the blade instead of the prop... -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Ringmaster" wrote in message oups.com.. .. but I have never heard of anyone simply replacing an inboard with a normal engine such as from a go-kart or Volkswagon Why that complicated? I'd like to know why manufactures haven't switched to installing B&S or Kohler lawn tractor engines in boats. Just think when it blows up it could be replaced for $400-$600 instead of the $6,000 that Yanmar wants. A 2cyl lawn tractor engine has as much HP as a Yanmar. What's the problem? |
