Todday we will have an interview for an article in the Dutch newspaper "Binnenvaart krant". Keith Henderson and I (Peter Tetteroo) will go there. Will let you know when it is published.

Researching the specifications of any Marine Engine
Armed with the knowledge of the engine you want
for your boat, the internet presents detailed information on the power unit of
choice in a matter of seconds. Any serious supplier has to be on the web
otherwise business will pass by to another.
Narrowing the choice of engines to propel your
boat can be a time consuming task. First of all what engines are there on the
market? Having made the choice of propulsion systems, between inboard,
outboard, sterndrive, saildrive or waterjet, the task becomes more difficult as
you compare one engine with another. If it is a used or non-current engine, the
specs may be difficult to find as manufacturers focus their websites on new
sales of current models. If only there was one website that listed all or
nearly all the marine engines produced worldwide, year after year! Well here is
one – The World Marine Engine Database recently opened up for internet access
via the website www.theworldmarinepowerdirectory.com.
Originally published in book form for the
marine trade several years ago, this engine directory can now be accessed
worldwide, through the internet. Compiled over several decades, the website
allows searches for target engines based on up to nine parameters. The targets
may then be compared in a tabular format, greatly simplifying the selection
procedure, saving time and money. The home page is shown in Fig 1, with
Login/Signup before starting the search.
There are over 13,000 engine types searchable
on the website up to the engine power ceiling presently at 3000hp (2238W/ 3040
metric hp), next year, higher power engines will be available as this ceiling
is raised.
The website can be used in many ways. To look
up the specs of a particular engine, to search for engines fitting particular
parameters, comparing engines by checking their specs – all in the same units! It’s
not just the well known, big names that are listed, little known or unknown
brands and models from different markets are included and last but not least,
being able to look up specs of non-current engine, no longer displayed by the
manufacturer.
The website is easy to use, after
registering, by clicking on the product icon, it brings you to the
search page for that particular product.
Selecting a brand name from a drop down menu
and then model type from a list, after hitting “search” the results will list
up to 30 “hits” showing the brand and model together with the power and rpm.
If you are searching by engine power, go
straight to the Power section and enter the range of powers being considered,
it can be entered in either kW, hp or mHP (metric horsepower). Other searches
can be made on Engine Size, Weight, Transom Height (outboards only), RPM range,
2/4 cycle, Fuel and/or Starting Method (outboards only). If the search is too
wide, the results will be too numerous and you will be asked to tighten the
search to reduce the number of “hits”.
For the occasional visitor to the website, user
searches are free of charge up to three searches per month and for the regular
user a $25 annual charge (excl. tax) is requested. Special commercial rates
exist for corporate multiple users.
As a further aid to identifying older or lesser
known engines, the website has a separate database of Marine Engine Brand Names
associated with marine propulsion. It lists approximately 1,000 Marine Engine
Brands, showing the manufacturing company and country.
