In the summer i took the boat through Amsterdam to the
IJsselmeer and the Northsea wich takes around 5 nonstop
hours on the engine. Further i made a few non stop trips
on open water on the engine when there was no wind. It
runs very smoothly and there is almost no vibration. You
can sit inside the boat next to the engine and even still
use the telephone. Provided that there is some isolation
of course. Did you download the "Bukh movie" on
the homepage ? because then you can hear and see it
running. The alternator is located in the flywheel. I do
not think that the heat of the engine influences its 210
watt charging power. After all the temperature of the
engine will never be higher then 80 tob 100 dgr F because
of the outside watercooling. The quality of the engine is
good. It is a very simple motor, which means that there
are no bells and whistles. The dealer recommended, in
addition to the standard overheat alarm, a VDO
temperature indicator. This gauge can be connected on an
additional contact available on the sensor on the
thermostat. I can recommend this engine and a visit the
site of Bukh wich is
very informative. |
