How heavy is your boat and lenth ? I'm building a 22' pocket cruiser and looking for a engine that's economical and dependable and that I can cruise at 6 or 7 knows. Nice video thanks
I have one of these engines. It is raw water cooled. Do you have a heat exchanger? Not enough water is being expelled with exhaust. Have you worked on the mixing elbow etc.?
No, we do not have a heat exchanger. Mine is raw water cooled as well. My mixing elbow rusted out a few years ago and I had to replace it. Here is a link to my project: thanks-dad.blogspot.com/2013/06/first-sail-of-season-and-few-more.html

Hello, can you tell me what transmission you have? I just bought an SB12 with the same gear and am trying to figure out what it is. Thanks,
To the best of my understanding, there is one transmission for the SB12. My info here:

Great stuff! Have you ever changed the rings on this motor? Am wondering if thats a big job or not on this diesel motor?
Hi Nathan, no I have not had the "pleasure" yet to change the rings.
