OK, the engines are Vetus 80 hp's. Zero electronics anywhere. Apparently in this size they are Hyundai bases, hence why I was thinking they were Hyandai Seasals. Most of Vetus's bases are Mitsi, I think in the smaller sizes. Interesting, so the block is a marinised Hyundai D4B industrial engine, 2.6L capacityand unusually for an industrial engine with an SOHC, needs that to rev to 4,00rpm to get the 80hp rating, you would never run it above 3000rpm normally in the boat. The 65hp is the same engine with revs limited to 3,000rpm
I see the Vetus web site says "only available for sale outside the EU", so I guess does not meet Tier II emissions Did you know Yanmar owns Vetus?
Yes, he did mention Yanmar own Vetus, and there was some other big name owning one of the other names, does Yanmar own Hyundai as well? And yes, these engines are supposed to rev to 4,000rpm, but only make 3,600 due to his props, which he is fiddling with. Apparently Vetus were fine with 10% of the target revs and signed off the warranty anyway. |

Hell no, Hyundai Group (Motors, Heavy Industries, ShipBuilding etc) is the second largest (Samsung is no 1) of the Sth Korean "Chaebols" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol, basically family controlled conglomerates. These Chaebols have huge influence in Sth Korea and there have been alot of associated corruption issues. On another "did you know", Vetus in turn owns Maxwell winches who in turn own Weaver Hatches and Southern Ocean Ropes.
