THE FIRST TURBO DIESEL OUTBOARD WITH DUAL CRANKSHAFT

The Dtorque Turbo Diesel sets a new benchmark in diesel  engineering, especially for outboard motors. Its 804cm³  twin-cylinder aluminium powerhead delivers a lusty 50hp  at the propeller shaft. With a remarkable torque output,  peaking at 111 Nm at 2,500 rpm, the Dtorque’s performance  surpasses even the leading 70 hp fuel-injected, four-stroke  gasoline outboards. It offers exceptional capability when powering heavy loads  at low rpm, as well as enabling the boat to get on plane quickly. This can be achieved with excellent fuel efficiency,  averaging less than 12 litres per hour at WOT. All this, as well as emissions well within the latest EU limits,  is with state-of-the-art common rail fuel injection (BOSCH),  but the unique innovation is the dual counter-rotating crankshaft design. By generating opposite forces, the two shafts  cancel out most of the vibrations and moments around the  steering axis that would otherwise make such a small and  powerful twin-cylinder diesel outboard hard to handle.
