This is an 8L46 starting for the first time after one week in dry dock. You can hear the slow turning before it starts.

  • @twinspur Large marine engines use compressed air to start the engine turning over. When it reaches a set RPM in which it will run, the start air is shut off, and fuel is then injected into a charge of hot compressed air which then allows for the engine to run, as a typical diesel. The compressed air essentially operates as the starter does on a small combustion engine in a car.
