Outdrives
Tim of the Flying Tadpole
While thundering around the web I ran across this Australian link for a new
variation on an out drive.http://dbdmarine.com/.I have a very strong personal
bias against outboards. I like the thought of a good automotive block that you
can get parts for at any NAPA store, even in Nome AK, and I have worked a lot
with both Mercruisers and Volvo outdrives. This concept looks like it gets away
from a lot of the problems of outdrives, (cost, reliability), while retaining
lot of the advantages. Recognizing the fact that just because its Australian,
doesn't mean that your neighbors, have any of the Duck Flat boys with their
Tennessee's, Dakotas and Wyomings looked at this yet.
I have been entertaining a design in my head combining Gerrs' Summer Kyle style
tunnel prop combined with a Bolger power sharpie, box keel. I drew one out with
plyboats and it looks like it would work. This outdrive idea of dbd marine would
be a much better solution.

I'll be darned! I didn't know NAPA carried Barr and OSCO manifolds, marine
carbs, marine starters, marine alternators, stainless marine water pumps,
and all that jazz!
And before you roast me with a flamethrower ... I'm pulling your chain! I'm
a Honda outboard dealer :-)
Cheers,
Les
