Inboard Marine Diesel engines operate under completely different duty cycle
requirements than those of sterndrive marine engines. The typical sterndrive
engine needs to target an operating rpm of 3500 rpm minimum to operate
correctly with the available sterndrive gear ratios. On the other hand inboard
marine transmission are available in a variety of gear ratios and therefore can
compensate for lower engine rpms. However, the for an engine to produce the
required horsepower at a lower rpm the engine must be built such that it is
capable of tolerating the extreme cylinder pressures produced (read related
topic "V" versus Inline Engines). Much like the sterndrive marine engine models,
from our 170 Hp Barracuda model up to the 400 Hp Tigershark MarineDiesel
offers a model for every application. The packaging benefits of the MarineDiesel
product with it's compact package dimensions and light 948 Lbs dry weight offer
MarineDiesel numerous product advantages versus the larger, heavier, slower
turning competitive product offerings.
If you're one of the thousands of customers who truly loves their boat, however
the boat was built several years ago during the time when the available diesel
engine options prevented the manufacturer from effectively powering the boat
with diesel; MarineDiesel has your solution! Don't even consider rebuilding
stringers, replacing shafts, and changing gauges clusters; simply drop in a direct
replacement supercharged V8 diesel!
MarineDiesel offers an industry advantage no other product can claim; common gear
mounting and packaging. The MarineDiesel product is the industry's only diesel product
that yields the exact same mounting and packaging configurations as the standard GM
gasoline V8 engines. What does this mean to the consumer? The MarineDiesel product will
match up to any of the Velvet Drive, Hurth/ZF, Tuff Torque series transmissions without any
special mounting hardware. MarineDiesel proudly offers transmissions from Velvet Drive, ZF
Hurth, and Tuff Torque/Kanzaki with gear ratios ranging between 1:1 and 2.5:1, as well as
inline, down angle, V-Drive and parallel offset transmissions.
