When selecting an engine to power your vessel, conventional wisdom often leads us to focus on engine horsepower (hp) as a primary indicator of boat speed. This approach holds true for gasoline engines and applications with minimal payloads, like motorcycles or cars. However, the dynamics change dramatically when it comes to waterborne vessels.
Vessels face substantial resistance from the water they displace, necessitating a unique perspective on engine performance. This is where the issue arises with gasoline engines, which typically exhibit low torque. Consequently, to access 30% power from a gasoline outbaord, you often find yourself revving up the engine to circa 60% of its capacity. In fact, it’s common to experience a noticeable increase in engine power only when you surpass the 70% mark on the throttle.
This predicament becomes even more pronounced when dealing with heavier vessels, where the engine may struggle to exceed 70% to 90% of its maximum rpm due to a lack of torque. Consequently, what you believed to be a 90hp outboard engine may effectively deliver only 65hp in real-world applications.
REFINED ENGINEERING
FOR UNREFINED ENVIRONMENTS
The Dtorque has been engineered from scratch, utilising innovative new technologies to deliver optimum performance even in the most challenging environments.
With close to 1,000,000 engine hours in the field, in addition to our own testing, the Dtorque is an engine that will always get you home safely.
Neander has partnered with world renowned supply partners to source premium parts for Dtorque outboard engines. The Neander Dtorque 50 offers service intervals of 250 hours versus the 100 hours on an equivalent gasoline outboard, meaning you can focus on day to day operations.
With full compliance with EU RDC Stage II regulations, the Dtorque 50 is a low emissions outboard engine. Besides using on average 40% less fuel than equivalent gasoline outboards, a huge advantage to running a Neander Dtorque 50 is the ability to access low emissions zones.
Dtorque diesel outboards are proudly distributed and supplied by
PE Outboards Pty Ltd throughout Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
