SABB diesel 1 syl. boat-engine 1990-model

The Sabb G-model (Norwegian) 10 hp boat engine is one of the simplest, sturdiest and most reliable boat engines around.

In this video we run the engine to keep the ice from freezing all over the boat-harbour. With the propelle-wash the slightly warmer water off the bootom replaces the icy-cold surface-water. In this way, we create an open space in the ice

I think the point lost is not how quiet ( and I might add these can hushed more ) but trather how reliable and good on fuel.

Exactly! - northerbrewer has experience with boats and engines. This "racket" as mickeymouse describes it) is not the usual cruising-RPM anyway and on the boat the noice is really not so bad.

that sounds sexy as hell if you ask me

Some of these had water added to the exhaustpipe, and therefore nice and quiet. I have one for myself.

Sail boat owners.....

I was not aware it got cold enough to in the UK to freeze salt water. Must have been one hell of a cold winter.

You shoud take steps to avoid freezing in a raw water cooling system. Drain/flush/purge or heat it.

The MD1 is a common sail boat engine here in Canada. The joke is they last forever because the owners refuse to buy fuel lol and they only suffer frost damage or break ( or get broken ) when owned by retired school teachers

It's a good healthy sounding engine. - but presumably it's cooled by sea water. So just how do you manage to stop the cylinder block cracking when it the sea is freezing?

I have a Volvo MD1 single cylinder diesel and the ice cracked that one winter!

[northerbrewer]

I have been reading old posts and revissiting videos. I love this boat....

The only thing I love more than a marine diesel is a hot bulb engine.

Times change most non boaters don't get it now and never will

So much for a peaceful boat ride.
