Volkswagen Diesel...

They have a very large and successful marine division.

Run the video below ...Thats a V-6,,,you should hear the 350 hp v-8 TDI!! Very impressive.

Have any of their products seen the north american market? Or is it a strictly euro based industry? The Arvor line of boats seems to use a majority of different diesel motors in their varied models...something I wish we could see more of.

I'm still waiting for a CAT to produce a Turbo Diesel outboard :) haha...diesel outboards exist but I believe no larger than 30hp or so.
 

Direct drop-in VW Diesel replacement for a Mercruiser long/short block connected to a Bravo III drive: http://www.cmdmarine.com/Product2/4.2L/4.2L.html -- 350Hp.

Engine has full self diagnostics, PLUS a complete hands free push button oil change system that can be done in the water! If anyone wants to fund me, I'd be willing to test a drop-in replacement of the 5.7 MPI in my boat today!! http://www.cmdmarine.com/Product2/Service Bulletins/v8_workshop_manual.pdf <== see page 202 in manual.
