Andy135 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 New outboard engine layout and 2-stroke cycle. Seems to be using what Bombardier learned from their Evinrude engines. https://www.mby.com/gear/rotax-stealth-outboard-123165 They make some big promises but could be interesting for some boats.

Especially for inboard engine replacement. Seems like one of these could be fitted without the need for a pod and sacrificing the swim platform. It's only the petrol side that'd put me off.

Gordmac Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Seemed to me all the potential problems of an outdrive without the advantage of an inboard diesel! Is the air intake going to be far enough away from water in rough conditions? captin slows old outlaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
