I ran the numbers in comparison to a Yamaha F300 and Merc Verado 300. You break even on the cost difference in fuel savings at about 1800 hours. (diesels cost quite a bit more. $60k compared to $28k). However the gas outboards are good for approximately 4000 hours. Manufacturer claims the diesels are good for 10,000 hours Over the life of the diesel you save $147k in fuel, and save having to buy a second gas engine over 10,000 hours. That's nuts. if they can get the service network right and run with minimal problems over their life... SIGN ME UP!

Very interesting video Jack, absolutely fascinating. An equally useful comparison would be between these two Cox diesel outboards, and a pair of equivalent Volvo Penta D6 inboards, and it would be interesting to see how they compare in performance, consumption, price, etc. VP diesels can be fixed anywhere in the world, but marina engineers would be unfamiliar with Cox, so that would be a big no from me. I don't know why anyone in the UK or Europe would want petrol sloshing around in the tanks when diesel is ubiquitous, cheaper, and goes way further. And diesel doesn't go kerboom when the fumes catch alight.

Wondering how the difference in torque feels. I especially like the Axopar 37. I live in Florida so air conditioning would be convenient. I can see an diesel advantage in some areas and when used on yachts and ships but the dealership network will be thin and will severely hold back the distribution. Cars and small trucks are going electric bc diesel seems to be becoming less in favor bc of emissions and all that business. The top of the outboard pyramid is Yamaha and Mercury. Yamaha is still producing reliable but older style engines, Mercury has jumped out of the box and going full speed ahead with he latest and greatest designs and modern engineering technology is proving them to on target of style, reliability and performance. Suzuki’s have always been excellent motors but they lack the dealership network and warranty responsibility. I turned 75 today and have been a boater for 65 years. I’m glad to see boating finally take such wonderful leaps.

Much less than the extra fuel. What I find impressive is it's top end performance. I though would like to see some independent reviews on the performance and durability. Also, I do wonder how the low rpm will hold up on high speed craft. Those do favor higher rpms as the props to tend to break contact with the water often and face alot more cavitation.

To check how much money on fuel you can save is a complicated task with many variables. Estimates range on 50 to 100 hours per year on a yacht, obviously this can be more or less. But let us go with just 50 hours a year. One hour per week. That's not much. Fuel prices vary, we'll go with Shepperton as they came up first in the search engine. Round figures, 60/40 Diesel £1.30 and Petrol £1.70; the fast cruising speeds came in at 60 litres/hour Diesel, 93 litres/hour Petrol. Again, rough figures £4k Diesel, £8k Petrol. So at a fast cruise the Diesel engines save £4,000 every 50 hours of use. What if you do lower speeds for fuel efficiency? Okay, but then presumably as you take longer you're on the water for longer because you take more time to get to a destination. To go the same distance as Cruising speed in Eco takes 4 times longer, so let's look at 200 hours for a fair basis of comparison. Diesel comes out at £2,100 in cost, Petrol is £6,000. Again a £4k Diesel saving. Obviously if you only use your boat for a very few hours per year the savings won't add up, but the more hours you do the more it adds up, and certainly by a few tens of hours per year it starts to add up substantially.

Marine prices are a different beast. Example, Alligator Point, FL diesel $2.7, gas $3.9; Suwannee, FL diesel $2.8, gas $4; Panama City, FL diesel $3.6, gas $4.6, and so on and so on and so on, dozens and dozens of marinas and it's a consistent prices difference. So a bit of boating and the costs will MASSIVELY stack up, as my figures show. As I say, links to your EU marine fuel sources would be welcome. Besides, MB&Y is a UK publication, we have to pay UK rates not "average EU" rates. The reality is if you do a bit of boating in the UK, or the US, you'll quickly make a saving. Also: diesel engines cost more to service over a life than petrol? Until this point in my life literally everyone I have ever heard say the opposite (gas engines need more frequent rebuilds).

I am not looking into these due to saving money, but because I want an Axopar or equivalent, and I want as much range as I can get (I like to go on adventures). The other alternative is a slower inboard cabin cruiser, but I'm holding off a couple of years to see if I can get a diesel outboard boat instead. So, it's increased range for me over normal outboards, including being able to actually refuel in far(ther) flung places. Also, with diesel, I can carry a couple of turtlepac deck tanks for extra diesel - something I certainly wouldn't with petrol.

The engines cost about £10,000 more per unit than a comparable petrol engine outboards so what ever the savings in fuel consumption the real world shows that up front cost of the engines drown out fuel savings.
@polygamous12 жыл бұрын
I think this will also depend how long you intent to keep the outboards how any hours a year use n one hopes also they will cost quite a bit less in maintenance n repairs over the years n the fact they will always be worth more when its time to sell them, but in the short run yes petrols all the way

Not just fuel but servicing too, diesels should run several times over the length a petrol needs a full rebuild. But yes, I think you need to be looking at commercial-level mileage to quickly get a return on investment. But, also, you know, BOATING. Have you seen the price of upgrades and and options? Ten grand usually struggle to buy you slightly nicer LED lights and a rod rack.

@@darthkek1953 Boating is now for the rich at least well off people I gave up boating when petrol went to 80p a litre but I do remember many of my mates from school they almost all well their eldest brothers/fathers who had any money would get a 10 to 12 foot traditional wooden boat n a little seagull on the back petrol was couple of shillings a gallon them seagulls where very easy to repair but in tidal waters anything less than a 10 HP engine it wont do, last time I went to a bot show (Earls Court) they had Humphrey Boggart on the African queen his steam boat Boggart actually looked pretty life like, anything "Marine" the price goes over the roof now days its silly money

I am totally out of touch with boating never was with anything bigger than 20 foot anyway, two things would worry me If I had money n age on my side for a boat this size, I would be worried of almost a ton in weight for the two engines hanging on the transom in choppy weather also the difference in fuel consumption reliability as oppose to a bigger lower revving inboard diesel, a mate years ago bought the mouldings n build a 39 footer If I remember right Aqua star n his choice was between a Volvo Penta high revving engine or a Caterpillar max speed 1800 revs it was a semi displacement hull, engine/gearbox was just over £20000 that was in the 80s would an engine like that not be cheaper to run n maintain in the long run? am sure today's prices would be in a very different bracket of course but the combine cost of these two monster outboards great as they are would not be more cost effective throughout the life of a boat? for me also the added safety factor just wondering great video thanks for uploading

Try this: Put a cup of petrol in a dish. Light it with a match. The fumes are explosive! Now, put a cup of #2 diesel oil in a dish. Try lighting it with a match. It doesn't evaporate so it won't light. We have to fine spray it at very high pressure directly into a very high compression cylinder at 22:1 compression to force it to explode in the very hot compressed air. If petrol leaks, a spark makes an impressive bomb. If diesel leaks, you'll only need a mop. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdmfidSqrNeYmWg.html

@@lukewalker3905 the bowthruster is 3'500 EUR on the Axopar 37. On top redundanca on a drand new outboard engine is questionable, as most likely issues you will have are connected to the fuel resp the fuel line, and on a single tank boat your gain of safety is marginal ! Statistics also speak for single. On top 2 engines = double the maintanance costs. So single makes a lot of sense ;-)
