how's the boat running today

[@rattmice3384]

Almost sounds like it has a 2 speed transmission?

[@petervee640]

Nice bild, how did you mount the engine to the alpha one ?

[@YourFreeness]

We mounted the Alpha flanche onto the BMW flywheel, and with an aluminium adapterplate for the bellhousing, to keep the original distance.

[@anthonylehner3643]

Not sure if I'm more impressed by the lack of content or the amounted of unburned diesel being dumped into the ocean!?🤔

[@sh614]

Thats not unburnt diesel, thats just exhaust system cooling water. That kind of cooling is used in most inboard engines

[@rattmice3384]

Pretty arrogant comment from a keyboard warrior!

@@rattmice3384 and you took the time to respond! Hope I didn't offend you if you liked this video Mouse.

@@sh614 I'm familiar with how water-cooled inboards work and I'm aware the cooling water exits the engine through the exhaust. The unburned diesel I'm referring to would be the black smoke that comes out of the exhaust with the engine cooling water periodically. Perhaps you only watched a short portion of the video and missed the obvious black smoke. As far as exhaust cooling water that is something I've never heard of. Is that similar to the headlight fluid your mechanic recommends? I'll have to Google that!

@@anthonylehner3643 who gives AF bro, watch some videos of diesel boats in Asia, or the rest of the world as a matter of fact. This is nothing compared to those boats. You're just jealous because you drive an electric cars or a Prius, with a rainbow sticker on it.
