Snookered,

I really like the Steyr, you may wan't to confirm one thing, I think it has Electronically controlled manual injection, just like my 6.5l Suburban, at the time they were not promoting common rail fuel injection. The common rail is supposed to be quieter and better on fuel. This was a few years ago, so they may have it now. Another thing I thought might be interesting is to jackshaft an I/O to a Inboard Seacraft with the pocket. I did notice when Albin went to I/O on their inboard diesel, they got rid of the pocket. I wonder if they tried it, or just figured they better enclose the pocket. I think it could be done, the motor would be higher, but the driveshaft should still clear the floor, although it would be close. It is a lot of work to do it and find out it don't work !!!! I think that is why it has not been done !!!
