Taking a proven diesel engine and developing it into an outboard was a most sensible idea especially since the engine of choice is a GM product. Diesels make so much sense in boats.
10 minute video and we got to see 10 seconds of the outboard at cruise speed that we could barely hear over your constant non-stop yakking and wind noise. Well done.
This is a real Game Changer ! Amazing how quiet it is i have a 6.5 Turbo Deisel in my GM truck and the dog can hear me coming over a half mile away LOL 9 litterally )
Just as economical as my mates 70s Mercury 115 HP 2 stroke would empty a 6 gallon tank in less than 20 minutes (Imperial gallons) flat out 4 blokes on board, this engine is truly amazing well done guys
That’s a great gen 1 motor. I can only imagine what the future looks like! Wait till people start adding aftermarket turbos and custom tuning 💪🏼. Hardway Performance Diesel needs this!
I've tried both a single and twin-engine setup in Angelholm (Sweden, OXE/CIMCO, home town). These are automotive-derived, horizontally-mounted, diesel engines (with a very impressive, trick transmission system) so they've benefited from huge development. All around *really* impressive - performance wise very hard to tell from a petrol-engine. Plus superb consumption, low emissions (MUCH lower, than equivalent petrol).
no u just jam it in reverse to slow down using engine power yea who cares about the lower unit and belts i bet after a dozen or so slam bam jams the hydraulic clutch plates and belts will be worn out or stretched and what they didn't mention is that the belt cogs are made of some super duper cheap to make not long to last with a slam direction shifter plastic polymer that costs pretty much a new motor for some marina mechanic to wrench on after a 12 pack scratching his head because there's no manual or anyone with experience to show how to work on these concrete shoes.... not bashing this product but there would have to be one hell of a fire sale and a 100% parts warranty and 100% labor repair cost coverage to even spark my interest but for smaller guys that use light weight high output gas motors on small salt or freshwater fishing boats this is not even in their wildest dreams to big to heavy and could buy a new gas outboard and rebuild one for a spare to the cost of one of the OXE new. If this company where to sponsor me for a year paid and all i would test their engine and put it through the worst conditions possible and then talk to them about making a Great Affordable Diesel outboard and also make their sales go up where they never thought of selling to customers.
For the weight you could carry a complete second gas motor. For the price you could carry a couple extra gas motors and just throw them over when they die.
@@wmason1961 i agree this dose have a place as a work horse not a speed boat but a work horse and diesels with there new high presser injection are very good low fuel consumption and this has a much more usefulness than that retarded 57 Chevy v8 in a out bored
Only thing that makes me wonder is how will the this transmission hold up. I like the idea of taking a production engine off the shelf, I hope it works out the market needs something like this.
this could be a game changer in the industry, looks like it could be a great workhorse, diesels tend to last well, but the best one is the fuel itself, Diesel is a lot more safe than gas less fire and explosion risk!
The Oxe is cool indeed. But a funny detail is when they meet a quad Verado at 5:12 and no one onboard even reacts 😂. In Sweden it would be a sensation.
Alfred, can you please ask them what they use for emissions? Do you need DEF fluid like you would need in a diesel truck/car? None of this info is on the web site.
The only disadvantage with belts is they will actually age and deteriorate, while drive shafts and gears will not, us motorcycle riders found that out when they started using kevlar belts instead of drive chains
Well, since they are not developing the engine, there is a lower limit. They could tune it down, but it would still be the same weight. They would need to use a different engine for those power levels, maybe something like a VW polo diesel.
Outboard and diesel is a winning combination. The question is how long will it last without problems and what is going to be the ownership cost over the lifetime of a boat. I'm a lifelong diesel tech so I know diesel always cost more to repair and maintain. Diesel will always give you torque in which I could see a benefit of that in some marina boats applications.
Merc has had diesel outboards for a few years but only for military applications. Hopefully competing products like this will push Merc into releasing theirs on the civilian market.
Amazingly quiet ! I am a little suprised that General Motors gets credit i think its cool how the transmission operates on Clutch packs and belts they really. Put a lot of thought to the build thanks for posting Alfred impressive take off power it sure doesnt sound like the General Motors Dually truck i use for pulling my boat and camper my dog can. Hear me 3 or 4 blocks away LOL
It's been 3 years now. I haven't been able to find any long term reviews. Coast guard and commercial applications have had more than enough time to review the products. Can you do a long term review video? I trust your advice over most others;) Thanks
So how much does that 150 diesel weigh compared to say the Mercury 150 OptiMax or 4 stroke engine. How much boost is the turbo charger providing, and then the decibels comparison.
this makes more sense than the 4 stroke gas motor for a work horse and the 2 stroke gas for performance applications a light weight best of both worlds
Kind of irresponsible reporting in not asking weight and cost specs. The claim of 8 gph was referenced at what throttle setting ? Is that WOT ? They said 6 GPH and then 8 GPH just above cruise. A Honda BF150 above cruise at 4000 RPM burns 4.9 GPH so the claim of 40% better fuel economy is bogus dude ! From my experience with diesels there's also a premium when it comes to service and maintenance.
2:12 he said the demo boat was getting 6 MPG with eight people in it. You need to listen before you call bogus haha. Unfortunately you are correct thought that diesels do have a premium with service and maintenence.
@@robtdougherty Outboard engine's efficiency is usually specified in GPH. The video never sited the speed of the boat so MPG isn't relative in the conversation. If he had said that the boat got 6 MPG at 30 MPH for instance then that would equate to 5 GPH, the same as the Honda BF150 at 4,000 RPM and 30 MPH. If it's the same, then it isn't 40% more efficient.
@@Hungry_Tree_Ghost My main point was simply that the claim of 40% more efficiency doesn't hold up. My example of the Honda BF150 hypothetically on that same RIB might turn as much as 4,500 RPM to attain that speed and in the process would burn 6.3 GPH. Again, not a 40% advantage with the diesel :-)
@@johnmoore5293 771 lbs would put my 21 foot Grady Whites transom deep in the water, no doubt the scuppers would be under water. Im thinking 771 ilbs to 150 hp is useless for most applications. They would have to shed 300 lbs off of that 150 for it to be practical. You hit the nail on the head its those rubber pontoons that is keeping the ass end of that boat above water.

Its definitely a novel idea, and im surprised one or more of the mainstream marine engine giants haven't dabbled in it. That being said, heres the problem I'd have with the oxe. Its an automotive based engine. Bonafide outboards are designed to run wide open throttle for extended durations, for most of their lives. What happens when you run an automobile at wide open throttle every single time you go anywhere? Its completely thrashed in short order. Its the same reason seven marine outboards spend statistically over 90% more time in the shop than Mercurys. They are automotive based platforms. I might be a serious looker when mercury releases a diesel, but Im not ready to pay marine prices for automotive technology.
Depends, a lot of small-medium machinery are powered by automotive based engines and they are usually throttled up to a max of 2500 or so and last for ever. If this was the same principle, I don’t see the issue.

@@onewhocansea4228 Are you some kind of mechanic for the oxe diesels? or just this one? Because I´ve heard so much good about these engines. There is this guy who talked very good about the engine, the engine had been going for 330+ hours total.

I am not a mechanic for Oxe diesel. I have also heard great things about them. But with what I know & have experienced , seeing that sales rep in the video talking about how great it is , that is contrary to my experience.
Low production numbers , hand built & IMO still in development ,when the bugs get ironed out it will be very good.
What's the min-max wot rpm range of that 150 HP outboard, how many miles per hour is that nice Rib running at when at full hammer down ?
Wow!!! AWESOME!!!👍👍👍👍👍😎
Great video!!!
What’s the weight for these diesel outboards??
Those sales reps are a little uptight but we're professional and wouldn't have let you, "Drive like you stole it", a little Miami Vice music and fuel capacity info.😎
If it had tier 4 emissions I’d run away...far away.
Dam, he's so hyper I had to turn the sound off.
Impressive, what does it weigh?
How much do they cost compared to petrol engine and what about weight is it heavyer or the same
Yeah, most engines are quieter in an open boat, even my 4.2 mercriuser.
