Bison project outboard about to hit the water
Cimco Marine AB is developing the new generation Diesel powered outboard with a six cylinder, twin turbo, 3-litre diesel engine from BMW as a basis.
Internally the project is known as the Bison project. The next generation prototypes are currently being built and are scheduled to hit the water in early July. Start of production is scheduled for spring 2020.
“The Bison project is proceeding with unchanged intensity. Identified improvement potential from the first sea going concept prototype is now being fully implemented in the next generation prototype “Bison P1A”. The Bison P1A will be delivering 300hp on the propeller shaft, meeting the required emission standards and expected fuel consumption.
In the tests performed up to this point the OXE Diesel 300 is expected to consume about 40% less fuel than a 300hp petrol outboard. This reduction and the fact that it runs on diesel will significantly contribute to reduced environmental impact for the OXE Diesel 300.
New rapid propeller manufacturing service launched
CJR Propulsion has launched a rapid design and manufacturing service to deliver bespoke, fully- machined Class S propellers in two weeks.
The move follows on from a £4m investment at its Southampton facilities and is for propellers up to 1.5m in diameter.
“Regardless of whether or not we have the original vessel
and engine data, we can reverse engineer any supplier’s prop and stern gear set-up,” explained Mark Russell, CJR Propulsion and CJR Fabrication MD. “Using the data we gather, we can accurately determine the vessel’s existing performance and understand what enhancements are available through our approach.”
The service can be used when a prop is damaged or for boats not meeting expected performances or where vibration or poor ride comfort are an issue.
