As most of you know, the Beta marine engines are Kubota. The Universal
engines are Kubota, as well.

After a visit to the boat show, and looking at the Beta small diesel for a
sailboat, I was flabbergasted
at the price. I got home and decided to see what the base engine cost.

For the Kubota [ Beta ] the price was less than half of the Beta price.

Huum,, I got to thinking..

Take engine, add transmission, heat exchanger, a couple of pumps..

If you know anything about a DIY Marinization .. ??

This would be a Kubota .. I'm thinking about 15hp.

2cyl,, fresh water cooled.
