In countries like Norway where marine users get tax-free diesel fuel this would make a lot of sense even for leisure craft.
hopefully in Norge all the speedboats will be electric soon : )
@@velotill U know that electric cars, engines etc is actually worse. Production of such products has very high pollution, batteries and such. There is alot of downsides for having everything on electricity.
@@abccba2344 I do know this to be an ever more prevalent fallacy being spread in YT comments. It makes some feel good about being right which is legitimate but does not help tackle the challenge to go 100% carbon free by 2050.
I may not be able to convince you here and now and yet in five years we are going to face a reality more convincing. I sincerely hope for this not to become a partisan issue. You may be a gun toting bible thumping republican and still be economically benefitting off of this massive technological transition we've got ahead of ourselves.
Have a good one
@@velotill I am not even american or support any of these retarded bs politicians (they are all the same shittheads btw, but you dont know that and will never see it anyway).. If you really belive the shitt they feed you, go ahead, keep eating that shitt. Its obvious that you like it, each to their own though.
@@velotill once battery technology improves and weight reduces this would be awesome. One of the worst parts of motor boating is polluting the local habitat. I love sailing but it is still not the same. Once electric options are available where I live in Canada, I will be looking to switch.
The "Heat exchanger" you pointed out is actually the charge cooler
An intercooler is a heat exchanger.
Will there be a strength and endurance test of some sort? Such as how to crank it start by hand in emergency, will ithe carbon fiber belt survive if the boat hit a fish net, that kind of frequent accidents.
Anyone have any information about diesel-LNG marine engine configurations? Or, maybe a diesel to LNG conversion?
🤔
I could see it as a trolling/slow speed engine on a power boat w/ water jets. Any slow running you could turn off the main engines & have a slow cruise around a bay area or an inlet. When you're ready to move on start the main engines, tilt the little diesel up out of the water & go.
Its 300 hp. Oxe only goes down to a 150 hp engine on their website.
@@The-Arctic-CircleThanx!
diesel is going to be the future for a lot of outboard buyers. this is just first gen.
Should be popular in the yacht tender role.
40 thousand, HOLY COW, Electric imo is my next motor
Like to know how much those carbon belts are ?
its the first generation, its pretty interesting to be sure but ill wait for a while longer till the tech improves and maybe the price evens out a little bit. in the meanwhile im sure they will do well with military and yacht tenders sales.
Fueling a tender using the yacht's fuel polisher could be useful
IN AUSTRALIA FOR $70K
I CAN BUY A KICK ARSE BOAT TRALER AND 4 STROKE 200HP MOTOR WITH 20K SPARE FOR FUEL DIFFERNCE OVER THE NEXT 30 YEARS.
SOUNDS LIKE A WANK FACTOR.
Franko 6
Not to mention that he sheepishly pointing out he was only doing 30knt
And when in hell did 34 litres and hour become revolutionary fuel consumption
Means with a 200l tank you can only do 170nm (an change)
And can you even imagine the maintenance schedule for this thing they did even have the brains to air tight the ball bearing on the leg just thought oh well it’s a sealed bearing water resistance fuck it not my boat
@@johnsontrucks8806 come on, this price can get the other same horsepower x2.
I don't think 2 can't defeat 1.
Jason Double Chains Machinery Chan
Even my 7ton twin diesel Volvo can pull 26knt at 24 litres per hour each
@@johnsontrucks8806 So I really don't know what the benefits of this engine are.
Jason Double Chains Machinery Chan
That’s just it
There isn’t any reason you would buy one of these
There are far more robust and inexpensive ways to put a diesel moat on a boat Like using a stern drive leg that way you can have any motor you want and it’s far easier to work on too
Plus do you really want to put 330kg on the back most part of the boat All I’m saying is there’s a reason they are using a rib inflatable
And that “belt” thing is actually a band like on a bandsaw and will be the first thing to brake after the open ball bearing on the leg
Only problem for us fresh water fishing boats on these is weight. Plus non available in United States right now
You should do a comparison with a regular gas outboard....noise, fuel usage, hole shot, weight, etc
No kidding. I can't find a video doing that anywhere which tells me it must not be that different.
That hole shot would give you every reason not to buy it
Where can I buy one of these engine ?
Just WOW
If the engine hasn't just been running and it's a cold start at 3:55 , how come there's water coming out of the tell-tale when you lower it? I smell BS.
I thought the same thing👍👍
Same here
You guys don’t pay attention it’s a closed cooling system that uses raw water to cool the engine water
Interesting video. Thanks. I like diesel engines in general but not convinced they will progress in an outboard application. The 350kg weight and fuel economy that's no better than a similar 200hp four stroke will be difficult to compete...
Its got more torque than petrol ...... thats the point of a diesel ffs !!!
I thought it was Jeremy Clarkson in the thumbnail for a sec
😂😂😂😂
Same I was like holy shit this is gonna be worth the watch
What is the power plant in the background when on the water?
Thats in the solent, West of Southampton
That thing is huge!!! 770 pounds???
7:00 what that rattle ? Sounds like belt harmonics ? Not good.
A great review Hugo, especially as to the technicalities of the engine. It would probably sound better and be more efficient if it wasn't based on a GM engine. I also wonder as to the name? OXE takes it awfully close to the terrible NOX emissions, diesel is now so well renowned for!
The engine is made in Sweden and oxe is actually Swedish for ox. You can also see the ox head in the logotype.
@@erlixerlix7573 simeone said its an Isuzu engine ??
The other diesel outboard they’ve reviewed is manufactured by COX, that’s even closer!
Too bad Diesel costs as much money as gas at the pump. Diesel should be at least half of what it costs. Thank you, greedy politicians.
@@Speakno12 diesel is a joke compared to lubes... The margins are on a different planet 😂
I filled up today 24 gallons. $1.89 at Shell in Texas
cheaper in many coutries in Europe, but I really want to see electric outbords with large speedboats, much quieter, better in so many ways. Remember the nay-sayers about electric cars in 2015, now even Ford will make an electric F150
Where are you? In New Zealand Diesel is $1.50/litre, petrol is $30/litre. Many marinas only have Diesel pumps!
These outboards are obviously commercial and for the military, not for flash gits out for weekend fishing trips with there buddy's for a start there pig ugly,but if your using your boat 15hrs a day every day diesel is the way to go,not only for fuel saving but torque at low revs no spark ignition no highly combustible fuel on board and you can go a third further with the fuel you have on board.Service just drop the engine oil,no spark plugs ht leads etc.My Diesel engine on my boat is 11yrs old 33.000hrs never missed a beat,only thing that it has is an oil change and filter every year other than that never spent a penny on it except changed two drive belts that I kept for spares.Diesel every time,they won't sell any in America unless your life depended on a outboard and fuel efficiency and you expect to keep it working hard for a couple of decades.
no mate...they have problems...i prefer outboard gasoline..
350kg and 4000rpm. There should be a legitimate multi ratio transmission to compensate. The engine should have the torque.
BalcyVR6
They should have built a little cvt trans for it and then they would have to have all the stupid belts
It has 2 ratios
I have the same diesel in my car, that is a bad ass motor. I've done the twin set up on a fat Grady. Glad I sold that pos, a 200 single on a 23 footer swinging that wheel would be sweet. Wouldn't need a fuel gauge especially out at the canyons, troll a spread all day for 10 bucks! For everybody saying stay gas, wait till the next greeny is in the house and your 4 stroke goes on a 50 percent alcohol diet. They never have, never will, and can't put any alcohol in diesel. Tight lines
Automotive diesels spend their life between 1500 and 2500 revs. Outboards tend to run at higher revs, as this engine is designed for automobiles, is it going to wear significantly faster in it's new role?
Dude its a GM motor, itl take you out into the deep then either catchfire and sink, or just wont work and you die. Running any gm diesel at 2krpm is just stupidity
fhhsvnggbh someone’s daddy owns a ford...
I'm sure the motor is built properly for the job. The price on the other hand is completely ridiculous.
ELECTRIC!!! : ) evoy.no
On board built in tanks can be filled and if the boat is to be laid up over the winter no sta-bil needed i suspect. Although it's my understanding that a fungus can actually form and grow without a specific additive to combat that. The plot is forming in my mind for a sci-fi thriller along the lines of KillDozer. Of course the fungus is the mechanism behind all the suspense and Mayhem.
Amazing engine, Try the OXE 300HP and you whill never go back to a traditional gasoline outboard
1/2 the hp but 2x the torque for the same weight. ill stick with the speed of gas.
40 grands?? Madness
Osmotech???
What about the Diesel Stench?
in australia is costs 75grand lol
so why did that just clatter to a stop all by itself
It wasn't by itself it is being controlled by a Coastkey remote lanyard
´Coastkey´ cordless killswitch system. I guess that the operator is starting and stopping it using his remote Control just out of shot.
@@jimegbeare3591 Might be an idea for him to say that then instead of looking shocked that its just stopped lol
Its a gm, all gms garbage does that
The noise will be their challenge.
Only revs to 4000 !!
So the black diesel exhaust filters through the water and into our lakes and rivers and reservoirs? Damn
This is where paraffinic diesel, like Shell GTL Fuel come in. Totally different ball game.
Exhaust is above water !
†his is one of the best MB&Y videos I've seen. Thank you.
From 2 stroke to 4 stroke to diesel.
It’s commercial bound.
4 stroke diesel !!
2 belts are not simpler that a shaft abd 2 gears in a gearcase. This mechanism is far more complex with more gears and more potential points to fail. Also an outboard shaft is meant to last forever so even if the belt lasts 3 years, which depending on the usage might be difficult, it can't be compared with the 20+ years of a shaft. I could be wrong these are new engines so I guess only time will tell.
Are you saying the life of the lower unit is 20 years?
@@GulfSoftwash I am running an 1999 Johnson 175 ficht. The engine has 1000+ hours and the lower unit has not been repaired once. We have 2022 so this is more than 20 years. The only thing done to the lower unit is oil changes every year. So yes a lower unit can absolutely last 20+ years.
@@GulfSoftwash Also oxe them selfs tell you to change the belts every 800h or every 3 years which ever comes first. How many times have you changed the shaft of your outboard? And it is not just the cost of the belts them selfs it's also the cost of the mechanic. I am not trying to be an ass and I am open to discussion and diffent opinions. I am just saying what I believe 🙂
@@KyriafinisBill that’s literally an average of 50 hours a year. That is nothing. Even recreational boaters here on the Gulf Coast are good for 5-600 hours a year. 20 years of extremely light use. Ok I could see it. It’s much better to go by hours than years. Todays outboards and lowers are much more robust. Though I agree on the outboards being simpler than this engine, 20 years is hardly the norm. We usually change the lowers on our offshore boats depending on hours every 3-5 years. Probably 2500-3500 hours ish.
@@GulfSoftwash yeah I get that but based on the manual I would have to change the belts 7 times so far with the boat just sitting and doing nothing. Also the lower unit life span doesn't matter this has a lower unit also so you would have to change it with the same frequency you change any lower unit but in the mean time you would have also changed 3 belts and those things are carbon fiber so they wouldn't be cheap. The equivalent of the belt is the shaft not the lower unit and I am pretty sure you don't have to change the shaft so often
Hahaha 350 kilos but very,very narrow leg......did i mention narrow leg,very,very narrow leg
Never skip legs day!
so its 2x the torque, but 1/2 the HP and same weight as twin 200hp 3.0 liter 2 stroke v6 motors. got it.
how much
AS a tender to a large ship that uses diesel this might work. otherwise. way too heavy per hp,
Its got good torque per weight !
PLEASE MAKE A 60HP FOR THE SMALL TENDER COMMUNITY!!
Think they do !!
@@rhett7716 I tried to find one for my dinghy on the catamaran, if you come across one advertised online please let me know. :)
@@tylordid2695 Just remember that it's going to be heavier than it's petrol equivalent. So you may not be able to fit the same HP rating.
200 HP maxed out 30 Knots? Am I missing something here, my 1979 140HP Johnson on that same boat do at least 40 knots conservatively, it cost 1000 bucks, so that leaves me with 39k left for fuel, I think I'm good. I am sure there are specific applications for this engine but man 40k?
You im not that impressed with that installation. That particular boat has been for dale for at least 2 years for 100k.
Let’s wait for 30 more hrs and call it stable.
How much!!!!!!!!!!!
2000 hrs before overhaul is unacceptable (I hope they have improved on it)
I need it.
Please tell me the price.my country is Bangladesh.
£39,000 - so about 4,246,000 taka
I,m interested it but very expenaive.
I don't know how come this machine is more expensive than other.more expansive mean prices are 2-3time higher than other.
You sound like the engine don't break down??
I want one, because i live in Norway and petrol costs a fortune😥
But Norway has its own petrol, how is it possible to be expensive?
Because of huge taxes from the state😡😡😡😢
Northern Europe is a sinistroid fuckhole.
But, cute blondes
buddy, you guys got suuper cheap electricity, subsidies for pioneering new emission free solutions too. I would imagine in three to five years for all commercial whale watching in Norge to be done with electric speedboats. : ) www.maritimejournal.com/news101/power-and-propulsion/the-worlds-most-powerful-electric-outboard-motor
How is this better than any of the gasoline outboards out there?
Diesel outboards are more fuel efficient, you can go longer between services and it's easier to refuel as more marinas sell diesel
how is NOBODY even mentioning electric being (in) the future???
40 000 + VAT? Insanely overpriced, Suzuki, mercury and evinrude have much lighter engines which cost less than 1/3 the price and perform much better too.
I like the new Evinrude 2 strokes. Will be buying a new one for my boat very soon.
@@robr4596 good for you Ill stick with my 200 Black Max
The most of the money is gained back in fuel🤣
You lost me at belt drive to the gearcase
Belts aren't really that bad. They used to suck in hi-temp environments, but new rubber mixtures and modern fibers have brought them a long way.
@mike force are you aware how belts are built up?
The carbon fibres he mentions only transfer the forces. As with any belt (toothed or smooth) the fibres need to be embedded in a flexible matrix. The materials used for this are either natural or synthetic polymers, colloquially referred to as "rubber".
Go ahead, research the internet and prove me wrong. 😉
@mike force did you at least research how belts are made?
@mike force nice advice.
If you had read my post carefully and understood it, this discussion would have never happened
So it would be the smartest to take your given advice yourself first, lest you just come across as an ill tempered ranting troll.
Here, I'll even do you a favour and help you end your embarrassment. Bye. 😉
@mike force why continue replying to a argument you know you have lost. And about something as pointless as a belt
If they want to enter the outboard engine market with the diesel solution, the engines have to be cheaper then the petrol ones. We all know that their maintenance costs are so expensive. I believe that they introduce the market in a bad manner. The position of both japenese and American engines is very confortable compared to this newborn.
More for commercial use dude
Commercial petrol is virtually the same price as commercial diesel. With the engine circa £24 grand more expensive plus vat and very similar fuel figures at normal operating speeds that's tens if not hundreds of thousand hours before you even start to break even.
Why do most large boats/ships run diesels then ?
that's a completely different subject and obvious.
@@dessilverson161 they can push heavy weights better and last longer generally speaking.
This has good application on this boat as it has a loarger load capacity than a conventional boat and therefore the diesels torque comes into play. These motors shud ne good on things like barges etc running at lower revs
Is this my 2014 cruze diesel engine lol
Basically ya
hahahahahaha i feel sorry for you, id never admit to owning a cruze or a craptiva.
Ask the price I did at the time it was the only company selling them .are you ready? $150,000 that's installed.was told by the dealer they were targeting military and super Yachts owners that most people could not afford these engines these engines weigh in at 771 pounds they're loud and very finicky if the fuel is contaminated in any way also they have a tendency to break down quite often being the dealer for this engine has two offices one in Annapolis Maryland the other one in Miami Florida would be quite hard to find a qualified technician to work on it. I spoke to Cox motors I believe this is the same company good luck you you purchase one or two
Do I missunderstand you when you say that cox motors and the oxe motors are the same company? Oxe diesel is from a company called cimco marine, they are converting opel engines into outboards upp to 200 horsepower. Soon they are ready with their newer modell 300 hp, a converted bmw 3l. Cox is from a different company..
I had an airplane with a cox 049 motor
@@rayswann7618 .049 Cox Thimbledrome running on nitromethane and benzine.
Quite a let down to be honest. An evinrude etec g2 200 uses less fuel across its entire rev range, while having more torque, weighing about 120kg less and costing $50,000 less. No idea who'd buy this.
Perhaps government agencies to unify their bulk fuel purchasing. That is the only situation where it makes sense. A diesel outboard is cool because I much prefer to have diesel on the boat than gasoline, but you are right, this isn't the one. Hopefully someone will design a better one.
Excellent point
there's no-way a petrol evinrude 200 (or any petrol for that matter) is going to produce more torque than this diesel......just ridiculous. Same with the economy ........1 ltre per mile on a boat this size and weight at 30 knots is exceptional
@@hdaviator9181 Check out COX Diesel Outboard... their engines will be available for purchase by the end of this year.
As you said diesel outboards are mainly targeted for the single fuel carrying personals mainly military some fisheries industries and anyone who needs outboards for commercial use .
OXE wanted to be the first to the market before COX thus their approach of utilising a GM engine, where as COX was designed and built to be a diesel outboard.
The first ever vertical crank on a diesel engine as well.
Very obviously no idea what your talking about. No petrol engine of comparative size nd hp as a diesel has the same torque. Diesel engines by there very nature have considerable more torque than petrol engines. With marine engines torque is far more important than HP. An old saying that’s quite useful here “ better to keep your mouth shut, and let people think your an idiot, rather than opening your mouth and confirming it”
Ok the bes disel ferfet
Ok, something doesn't make sense. Diesel engines do not use water for coolant in a closed system. They use Coolant, just like in your car.
Too many components and changes of direction consumes available power.
The old KISS principle sill holds: Keep it Simple ….
А если ремень порвется????? Да! Такое бывает, поверьте!
Junk salt water will kill it no to a heat exchanger
Fresh water xchgr !@
Maybe if it had real marine powa...yanmar or something
The ONLY good thing about this anchor is the belt drive.
30 miles an hour at 4000 RPMs it’s gutless. 17 foot pro craft bass boat with a 175 Evinrude= 101 mph
25 less HP, shallow hull boat designed for lake use, significantly less weight. Sure, that can do 101. You're totally right
You're gonna run out of fuel twice before that diesel does though.
That was knots !!
2 ton 24 ft boat !
If there is just two belts to the propellershaft (without any gears, as you mentioned was the upside with this), shouldn't it just go forward when you start it 🤔 And no neutral or reverse at all... So with this engine you got a more expensive and heavier engine, with only a forward gear as soon at you start it, just as the pwc:s in the -80:s 🤣
Bro, no
Let's get rid of Steel shafts and let's put a bunch of belts in there that should work
Harleys use belts !! 😂
The practicability of outboard engines is yet to be tested, but the price is double the price of gasoline engines! Not close to the people, difficult to popularize
For commercial aps !!
never ever a mention of real US dollar C-O-S-T? I'd like one 200. wow what a PROP! My 26' alloy boat could handle one. No difference than buying a diesel truck. parts and service network????
I think he said 40000 VAT. If so, that comes out to approximately $43400 USD.
But what about that weight
Over the stern? Too much?
@@rhett7716 Maybe on your plastic boat.....65k I have the price sheet from a S. Fla. dealer . WAY too far from me in REAL Florida.
@@CaptDavesSportfishing i dont have a plastic boat !!!!
Too bad u cannot afford or justify one sounds like u like it !! As i said 750lbs is a lot of weight over the stern of a normal boat, of course a rib is not a normal boat !!
You Guys In Europe come up with all kinds of stuff. Diesel out Board Engines? Whats Next?
How about a 300hp diesel outboard? ua-cam.com/video/6FHuaaVqffE/v-deo.html&lc=Ugw5NvZuYrEtxlvYwFt4AaABAg
More problems with the belts
Rubber band driven soot hammer ...............
Only 30 knots and at 200 hp.... lame
Hwo buys these?? Big fail.
Why is every single diesel outboard on an inflatable boat? At least on UA-cam
Because they can handle the weight!!
Could never justify paying that kind of money for an outboard when you could buy a very nice car for that money
75k, 200hp, 800lbs, GTFO. I'll take a brand new gas engine every five years for the next 30 years instead.
Dustin he said it’s 40 k
don't you realise that in five years MANY boats will go fully electric. Maybe less so in countries with absolutely no bonus-malus system to nudge us in the right way (in 30yrs we gotta be 100% carbon free, remeber ; )
Torqueedo already has smaller solutions for powerboats and the Norwegians are being smart, making their fjords emission free and giving their domestic companies some subsidies to gain an early foothold in the market for electric outboards.
I would be SO glad if we could just get on with it already (no crazy Tesla-fanboys needed, thank you). There WILL be cost savings soon, not to speak of much lower noise emissions which might be important for tourist applications.
Boats are not gonna go electric anytime soon
@@phyx5395 is bullshit..... I just receive their quotation. Damn expensive
40 thousand?! Hahahahaha!!!
Is it price of products?
@@minseo5397 yes
772 lbs 200 hp .... No thanks . I would like to see all outboards become fresh water cooled though
$40,000 are they insane? I can buy gm 2.0 diesel engine with low miles for 2 grand right now on Ebay. And I have a tuner to delete the emissions system and I can slap bigger injectors in it and a larger turbo. Car at stock only runs 50% duty cycle on fuel pump at 165hp. Plenty of potential in theselitle bastads. Ill put it in an I/O and have 250 prop horse and around 400 torque will still be reliable. I know because I have 155kon mine and it's just broken in 🤣🤣🤣
What in the hell is kilogram and a liter?
I don't get the benefit of these diesel outboards. My 4 stroke 200 Yammy gets 35 liters per hour doing the same speed. Diesel isn't any cheaper than gas. It stinks and its loud. Ill stick with my 4 stroke gas.
One major advantage where I do my boating (although I have inboards) is that there is nowhere that sells petrol (gas). Remember that this is a video by a UK magazine, primarily aimed at UK/European viewers.
@@alanj9391 Interesting. I didnt know petrol was tough to obtain anywhere.
Another benefit is that you can use "taxfree" diesel. So you get much cheaper fuel.
Diesel does stink. It's a smell I don't find unpleasant in the least though... Unburnt fuel on the other hand is quite unpleasant to me.
@@TheMetalButcher To each their own. For me the smell of gas is easily tolerated. Diesel smells like black lung death. lol
for that amount of money i could buy 2 motor thats crazy .sorry but i wouldnt buy one even if i had that money to burn .
This concept is never gonna take off...
R. E. Hill NATO single fuel policy phase 3(elimination of gasoline from battlefield logistics) alone will sell a bunch of these
For anyone complaining about the price of the outboard, if you can afford that rib then the outboard is cheap!! I've seen one run up close and this video does make it sound worse than it actually is. I'm not sure on the belt idea but it must work, can't be cheap to have them replaced
OXE Diesel from CIMCO MARINE - sucks! The Swedes soldered it to us for 45 K euros each. We were one of the first to acquire 2x200 hp and we still curse this day of our life. We serve ourselves, nothing complicated. The engine itself is GM (for Opel Insignia). An innovation only in the transmission to the propulsion. 1. Non-industrial model. Not suitable for heavy use. 2. Raw and imperfect design. 3. The housing starts to molder down almost immediately despite the anode protection. 4. The motor cowlings are literally ripped off by the pressure of water. We had to remodel it ourselves. As a result, all the parts were in the water and the entire electrical part had to be changed. 5. Turbines do not withstand the nominal declared speed, overheat at 3000 rpm. As a result, it is impossible to develop full power. 6. The company does not want to be responsible for its products. 7. It is impossible to get technical support. Got the money
and forgot. Then they simply do not respond to emails. A couple of years later, they admitted that some parts, turbines in particular, were incorrectly calculated and incomplete, but they refused to send new ones. 8. The engine cannot be lifted on the move in shallow water, which increases the draft by half a meter. 9. Weighs almost half a ton. In short, quality 2+, technical support 0, manufacturer's responsibility 0. One and only plus it's diesel. We were forced to take it for a work in order to meet maritime safety standards.
too expensive
Bad engineering idea!
I hear they're coming out with a hundred horsepower that only weighs 600 pounds. Lol
the engine sounds terrrible, why would anyone want such a beast
Why does this guy pause. after. every. single. word. Horrible to listen to!
200 horsepower and that thing weighs almost at 800 pounds I'd rather get a 450 horsepower that's only 600 pounds diesels are just too damn heavy stick with gasoline
Doesn't knock my socks off. Ribs are lighter than grp boats and 30 knots isn't that great. It may save a bit on fuel but I'd rather have a yanmar inboard at 300hp and less cost
You lost me at "General Motors".
Still too loud! Sorry!
What fucking rubbish 34liters an hour at full clap at 30knt
I had a old 90hp v4 Johnson 2stroke
On a 2ton boat did 34knt and used 23 litres an hour
And a 70hp Yamaha 4 stroke
At full clap will use 27liters an hour on a 1.7 ton dory at 26knt
Your belts will fail
