Now this is a bit of a beast

Just wonder if its too complex for its own good,

I think you and Argonaut have been reading the same news. :D

I'm getting more convinced that outboards are the future of power boating. Agreed it is very complex and 10 yr old engine repair costs may be very expensive.

I’ve just replied to Argonauts post on same engine.
I wonder if engines like that will have a market in the uk?
The running costs of a couple of those must be shocking.
