Marinisation... anybody?!?
Evening guys,
Hope you all had a great xmas and new year,
Had a bit of an idea and am starting to carry out some light research into it!
I was wondering who out of everyone here could help by providing any resources of information or general knowledge and pointers with the basics of marinising an engine designed for land use, say perhaps for arguments-sake a 1300 inline-4 motorbike engine and making it applicable to high-performance marine use?
Anything from the modifications to be made to the engine itself and it's cooling system down to the required features of the drive it should be coupled to.
Any info at all is much appreciated,
cheers,
Max
