I went to the Seattle boat show. And there it was. A company called Safeboat
had a marine version stratified charge diesel rotary. Turbocharged 250hp. I
met the new RPI guy . He's basically a corp. fix it guy. Company doing bad?
He can fix it. He's has taken RPI out of the red, which has never been done.
The engine was the same old deal. Mechanical timed fuel injection, which is
never going to work. Well it has'nt yet. At least they finally have the fuel
chasing the spark. So many years they had it the opposite way. They said it
would have come out but it got held up by the people doing the marine
equiptment. They had to go retrieve it and then finish it which put them
another six months behind. You could hardly see the engine for all the crap
on it. Skip Oh yeah they haden't run it yet.
