John Deere Twin Turbo Diesel Marine Engines New Startup

Master marine mechanic, Mike S., puts the 1st of two 1999 225hp John Deere PowerTech turbo diesel marine engines through its paces. Watch him shift the transmission. See the clean transmission fluid. Watch and listen as Mike revs the engine to 2900 rpms. You can hear the turbo when he shuts the engine down.

Is that water coming out like... boiling hot? :O I've always wondered that.

[Goodstuff989]

@RocketRodder No the water is not hot at all. Maybe after a long run it might be warm but not hot..

[bengo76]

This is a tractor engine am i right?

[Goodstuff989]

@bengo76 No these are twin diesel engines for a very large boat.

Thanks! We wish we had more of these. They are just about bullet proof.

@RocketRodder slightly, the water is used for cooling the piston and cyliner liner

What kind of liquid comes out exhaust?

[bigmekanik]

John deere has a factory marine engine line from 80-750bhp, JD are extremely reliable and very fuel efficient for hp ratings.... I know a commercial charter captian w/ 3 65' custom boats in Fourchon, La, and he has all 3 powered w/ twin 375's. He swears by them, and he has been in the business for 30+ yrs...

@Goodstuff989 I am assuming that there is a heat exchanger on the engine and that works on hotter water exchanging heat to the colder water so while the discharge will never boil it will get warm about 45 deg C
