"Borrowed" from another forum...Oxe Diesel outboard, has some interesting concepts, including cabin heat, adjustable gear ratio (belt driven).
OXE - DIESEL OUTBOARD
OXE - DIESEL OUTBOARD
Adapting the modern auto turbo diesel for marine use makes good sense. Our "other boat" is a 24 foot 2014 Mercedes Benz Sprinter motorhome by Leisure Travel. It's powered by a V6 turbo diesel that runs quiet, smooth, and delivers up to 19 gph. The entire power plant is small and light weight compared to the Lehman 6N-140 in my Willard trawler. Probably not practical for heavy displacement hull boats, but seems ideal for the light weight commercial use vessels. I wonder how price compares to conventional OB...double the price?
