I think they'll say anything to get out of a warranty claim b*****ds,
strange thing is, it does only seem to be the yanmar 300 that does this, I did hear a rumour that there was a harmonic issue between the six cylinder motor and the bravo at that power, after all they take 525hp of supercharged petrol no problem and, my V8's have done a few hours now with loads of abuse/in and out of the water at full chat and all that stuff with no problems and mine aren't even Bravo X drives!

I know Bill very well, his domain is more yamaha though, I think he has a weekly account with my good friend Jim Mac

Dirk Diggler · 15 January 2003, 13:15

Has any one considered that "driver error" may be part of the equation?

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:16

without question, probably 50%

I looked at Konrad and I think the 1000 hp leg your refering to isnt for diesl as the torque is to high on these motors and is desighned for inbord petrols.

Konrad have a leg that can handle a max of 500hp diesl but you got a seperate gearbox and with the weight and engine size you still need a boat to go in, so it is a none starter.In my humble opinion whats the point in havving nearly 2mtrs lopped of the back end of a 9 mtr boat inc engines and box.You will have more room with a 7 mtr outbord version.

You loose to much room out the boat.and your also into dimminishing returns syndrome with bg twin diesls.

It does say in my post that the rating is 1000hp PETROL

crazyhorse · 15 January 2003, 13:21

Its all about torque not horse power.

Glad to here it jon just expanding on a theme.Relax im on mi best behaviour.

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:22

The other drive system is a Konrad, but this has a Borg Warner type gearbox.

Crazyhorse.

Sometimes I worry about you, do you have an Eye, Brain, Fingers networking problem?

The Konrad does have a seperate gearbox, but they do supply a "stand off box" that the gearbox will fit in, enabling you to have a smaller engine compartment.

And please explain your theory on the Diminishing Returns Syndrome.

hay your doing real well so far

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:27

PS. re your signature, I'm allways chasing my dreams, and I'm very rarely happy! so we must disagree again!

crazyhorse · 15 January 2003, 13:29

If your unhappy chasing your dreams then try to imagine life withought them.

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:31

Maybe your right, but listen, we've gotta sort out this spelling/grammar thing! I'm a complete spastic in that department, and even I can see it!

crazyhorse · 15 January 2003, 13:32

Im interested in this vat thing that Charles has said as if we can buy from Jersey then if im correct then there is no vat to pay.

Sounds on the face of it real good way to save 17.5 %

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:34

I'm sure it's poss, but what about an invoice for your insurers when they want to see it? ooops

crazyhorse · 15 January 2003, 13:34

Dony you go upseting yourself about mi spelling,one day I will go back to school and sort it out.other things on mi mind at the moment.

Jonny Fuller · 15 January 2003, 13:37

this thread must have got too serious, there's hardly any smillies on it

Isn't it time for a wind-up, ....only joking JK

crazyhorse · 15 January 2003, 13:38

Good point,and if the boat is pulled by customs they will be real interested too.

I will find out as maybe your ok only if your a Jersey resident?
