Greetings from central Australia, I love this video, the sound of that engine is mesmorising, a bit like an old Diesel pump jack engine. Thanks for the video, I often watch it as the scenery is so different from the Desert country we have here.
There's a beautiful boat and a guy who knows exactly how to handle her. Not to mention an remarkable engine - I can't see many "modern" 40hp engines performing like that
Good god, what a lovely sound, and someone who knows his boat and his engine very well. I notice the boat turning, most of the time with no input to the wheel, as the prop rotates in only one direction is it just "prop walking" causing the boat to turn, one way forward and the other way aft. I'm guessing a pretty large diameter propeller on this vessel
I believe the last semidiesel produced in Norway was in the very early sixties and this is one of the very late ones. Yes, it have to be preheated with a torch for 6-10 minutes before start.
@jgmagoo1 You are welcome in Norway with your lawyer friends. Here is there absolutely NO semidiesels with different muffler than in this video. It would be interesting to have seen a muffler that was efficient after for example 10 years of soot and oily exhaust... Putting a modern muffler on an engine built with 80-90 year old technology is considered rape.
@Tjita1 The crank changes the propeller pitch to make the propeller push the boat forward, neutral or reverse. Please note that in this video, the governor was out of duty, the engine should be able to maintain a far more constant rpm
The far north has always fascinated me, well, as do other remote places. I spent some time in the Yukon (Canada) a few years ago. So, what is a semi diesel? Are these engines still being manufactured?
so when was this engine built? Do you need to glow it with a torch for a cold start? My dad worked on the Rhine and he said a lot of those engines needed to be started backwards with air pressure to back up. He said sometimes they lost it (river current) and had to throw out a rope and duck :-)
@jgmagoo1 Please note that this is a two-stroke semi-diesel. Any restrictions in the exhaust will limit the amount of air entering the engine and cause loss of power... The engine have a kind of muffler but it is only an empty tank sized about 100 litres.
Why is anyone even questioning the noise levels? turn it up. Besides the only way to reduce noise is to either restrict the air flow (exhaust) or create a seriously large silencer that does not reduce back pressure, two stoke engines require tuned exhausts ( i can't answer for hot bulb engines but assume similar results) and this will only give the desired results at certain rpm, most people do not have the time, knowledge, or money to engineer this. Four stroke engines do not need or want any back pressure no matter what people tell you, but don't take my advice on this look up 'David Vizard' there's nothing this man does not know from a scientific point of view regarding engine tuning.
By the way, manouvering this beauty requires a not common skill, about the engine, well..lovely sound is not the right definition.... This is "musica paradisiaca"!!!

Nice indeed, guess you have tried this before :) I've seen a fisherman run his vessel straight into a pier once, he came into port after a fishingtrip and wanted to slow his vessel down by reversing, nothing special. He throttled down his engine and turned the propellor to full reverse but as it turned out, probably due to very slow idlespeed, the engine started to turn the wrong direction and slammed the pier at almost full ahead :) shit, but what a laugh...
@SveinHaDD Not true. I am an engineer and have been involved in several lawsuits pertaining to noise laws and diesel engines. It has been proven that noise levels of all types of diesel engines, both 2-stroke and 4-storke can be significantly reduced and still maintaining a ZERO increase in backpressure, It has also been demonstrated that some diesel operators just like noise!.
No! That only applies to modern type diesels . This is a hot bulb engine and exhaust back pressure considerably effects power. A 2-stroke diesel , Detroit’s being the most common have no relation to this engine other than it has a reciprocating piston. Detroit’s have blowers or super chargers on them just to make them run! This hot bulb engine would need something similar to make it possible to run right with restricted exhaust but then it would be a different engine.
Det er jo så tregt og overdimensjonert at tror ikke greier overbelaste det der. Når tenker på utenbordsen har en 3 cyl tohatsu 4 takt.Full gass ofte i en time og den tåler det helt bra på ca 5000 rpm.Dette her kan da ikke ha mye rpm.

I would go to sea with this captain anytime. This is one seriously experienced captain.
10 + years later, this is still fun to watch
Yes, it is a variable pitch propeller which is manouvered by the large handle. The propeller is running in the same direction all the time.
Beautiful engine song.

my uncle is fasinated with this video! he keeps playing it over and over again.
There's no auto replay button 😔
The large one that is used most is the propeller pitch. The small in the middle is the regulator (throttle) and the last one is the clutch.
Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the upload.
that was bloody wonderful

I'm not quite sure but I think it is slightly below 60 feet. These 40 hp engines can be compared to about 200 hp modern diesel engines.
What does that crank do? I may add that I know nothing about boating, but every bit of technology is interesting in my eyes.
how big is this boat?Thats alot of boat for 40hp.Gorgeous harbor!
@Tjita1 The crank changes the propeller pitch to make the propeller push the boat forward, neutral or reverse. Please note that in this video, the governor was out of duty, the engine should be able to maintain a far more constant rpm
Wonderful! Speaks to my soul! Where can I find another vídeo like this?

Stilig manövrering fint och bra filmat.
thanks.I bet thats because of the lowspeed torque.Honest engine.
variable pitch prop control
Really good video! does the engine have avariable pitch prop to reverse? Where does it operate from?
the first trawler i skippered was like that throttle wheel, pitch wheel, steering wheel, 2 hands
gotta love that sound. Where is this?
What a beautiful sound. What sort of range would a boat like that have?
I would guess a full consumption around 15l/h and a fuel capacity around 200 to 300 liters.
The far north has always fascinated me, well, as do other remote places. I spent some time in the Yukon (Canada) a few years ago.
So, what is a semi diesel? Are these engines still being manufactured?

100% correct ‘modern’ 2-stroke diesels have blower on the inlet to make them run. Different engines.
@OFY17 FYI, the governor was totally out of duty in this video. We repaired it later the same day...
Very nice sound!!!!
Sehr gut manouveriert. Ein richtiger Ohrenschmaus. Fährt der Kutter heute noch so mit dem Motor?
@jgmagoo1 its not like any diesel you have worked with. it is a hotbulb engine and they will NOT work nearly as well with a silencer
what does that handle do?
sounds awesome.
Could you make a vid on you docking that boat :)
Excellent, thank you.
I saw some of these reproduction Lister engines for sale here, they are made in India. I like engines that last a lifetime.
er dette her i Granvin (fordi at dampbåten ligger der:) )
if you don't like boat noise, don't live in a harbour. simple as that

four stroke with large ex/up overlap have better low rpm torque with back pressure
Magnifique 👍☺️👍👍😁⛵😀👍👏⛵

Very very nice!!!!!M!
Make a lot of money from making this a movie set. I’m from holly wood

Hi is the best
would be cheaper to get a gym membership!
This guy would make much money carryng tourists! Maybe better teaching his skill!
Makelaust!!!

DatGoy, feel free to have a different opinion, but to recommend someone to kill themselves are far beyond good habit.
I took out engine compartment insulation, just so I can hear my Norwegian sabb diesel chugging away. Yes I'm guilty to enjoying the sound.
No! That only applies to modern type diesels . This is a hot bulb engine and exhaust back pressure considerably effects power.

Overbelastning av motoren ! =P
Det er jo så tregt og overdimensjonert at tror ikke greier overbelaste det der. Når tenker på utenbordsen har en 3 cyl tohatsu 4 takt.Full gass ofte i en time og den tåler det helt bra på ca 5000 rpm.Dette her kan da ikke ha mye rpm.
This guy is a real jerk. The kind that moves into an area, then goes around nosing into everyone else's business
