- This may be the answer to making diesel engines more environmentally friendly (or at least help in that direction for those with a diesel engine). This Sea Go oil pump saves engine oil from going in the bilge and subsequently into the ocean every time we service our engine (Which should be every year or at the specified hours of running time...*(check your manual for this).

This is a great video, and food for thought.
Cheers! We appreciate the feedback⛵️👍
8:20 I'm all for renewables, in a sensible way. Plenty of people today are using diesel engines that are 40 and 50 years old. Does anyone actually think in 40 years from now someone will be using the same electric engine they are today? Not a chance. There'll be more electric engines in the scrapyard in 10 years time than there have ever been diesel ones.
Yeah, super interesting point, we have thought about this for a while. I came up with the thought that we should maintain our current engines and it would be better than swapping out for electric. However if you are building new I think electric is probably just a bit better - but there are motors out there that are simple and are printed which are much better... That's what I want to be working toward.
I see the logic of perhaps electric for new builds, but I'm not sure I would do that...I think we'll need another 10 years of R&D and innovation to really get there. @@SailHub
@harbourdogNL yeah that’s my thoughts about it all too! Although, I’m secretly hoping that technology may take a step in the right direction a little sooner…. ⛵️👍
What you are wondering about is the footprint of a system over its entire lifetime.
What IS the difference between a diesel engine and an electric motor run on lithium batteries?
Has that been calculated? Probably.
And... biodiesel. I haven't seen any boats talk about that yet.
And where does one get the vegetable oil to turn into biodiesel? Oil palm??? Nope!
There will always be a footprint left no matter what you do.
Better tech is going to be the answer but it will never be perfect.
Hi Rick, yes! That’s exactly my question. Thanks for replying!
Yes, I’m sure the figures have been calculated too. I do wonder as to what they are as it is strange no-one uses them for their marketing. When I ask manufacturers there are no clear answers. It keeps me pondering…
Personally I find it really exciting that electric tech is taking off, it could be the next industrial revolution. Like yourself I am also sure things are going to continue to improve!
Regarding the footprint, there’s no getting around one of those, but it’s really nice when I see someone really trying to minimise it, reducing plastics in their motors and looking at sustainability over a long term in their product.
I guess I want to know if we should ignore tech until we know it’s making the difference we hope it is making.
As for bio-diesels, I believe the reason we don’t see it so much in the marine world is it’s FAME content. This basically becomes agitated at sea and blocks filters. It has the same symptoms of diesel bug.
Cheers, Chris 👍⛵️
