But Beta's are mainly based on Kubota units. High revving? I don't think
so!
My boat has an 'un-marinised' Kubota plant engine installed. It is the
same as you'd find in a mini digger or the like with a marine drive
plate and gearbox fitted on the end.

cylinder or something like that? "
How long ya got Steve? It is becoming so common nowadays to have to
share locks with smokey old poorly maintained SR2s that I fully
understand where the Thames lock 'engine off' rule comes from.
He continued with " Something with a bit of torque which is minimum
maintenance and high durability? "
Back to the Kubota then Steve!
