We have taken a normal in line diesel car engine and have copied the belt drive to the leg only. We did not choose the dual belt as others do (As it loses too much power). The use of only 1 belt shortened as much as possible reduces power loss. To regain the power that is lost we have redesigned the gear box to take advantage of the higher torque of the diesel engine to maintain 5500 RPM at the propeller. We have used a conventional Petrol Outboard leg and did not change the leg to a belt drive as to much power is lost.

As to the corrosion problem we do not allow sea water into the engine as a coolant is used. The radiator has been designed to use sea water to cool the coolant. This insures the longevity of the engines. (8 to 10 years for the European engines) you do not have to replace heads every few years.
In other words we have created A RELIABLE and AFFORDABLE Diesel Outboard Motor.

For our 60 to 150hp Klaxon Diesel Outboard Motors we use a German manufacturer (founded in 1880) of diesel engines, based in Bavaria, Germany. Especially known for its small, lightweight and robust engines, the engines are mainly used in all kinds of small construction machinery, generators or pumps.

There is a 36 months warranty for the new European engines.
