Unique one cylinder diesel boat engine starting up 

That's a proper engine for a boat.

That one-banger will last for 83 more years!!!

The combination of the engine firing with the slight howling of the gear train, what a relaxing sound. 5 stars!

I enjoy an engine where I can hear the various internal pieces each doing their thing.

First time ive ever seen a steering wheel sideways on a boat. Pretty cool

I love old Lister Engines like a watch ticking you can count the strokes.

I remember that sound! We used to call them put put boats, back in the sixties! Brings back some memories! Thanks for sharing!

For civilised fellows, this is a most relaxing sound .ideally followed by fresh fish on the bbq and some choice ale

My grandpa was a farmer/rancher. Among all his equipment, he had an old John Deer, single cylinder, two stroke. It had a huge flywheel on the side. I swear you could put that thing in granny and at full speed a person could easily walk that fast. But damn if you could almost make it climb up a vertical brick wall. It was easy to count the power strokes from that piston. It had two tires on the front in a V shape that nearly came together when the tires met the ground. The “gas peddle” was on the tree, or rather the steering wheel column. I was driving that beast when I was 10 years old. On the farm everybody worked, especially during harvest. Even schools let the kids out for a week during harvest.

Brings me back to the days of messing around with a Yanmar 1GM10 on a Farr30 (Mumm30)

I keep looking at restoring a boat, or building a wood boat glen L style, but I keep coming back to how bad I want a small diesel inboard motor for it, this thing sounds awesome.

There's something magical about a low revving, single cylinder oil burner.

Moves the boat well, cool engine!

this type of engine will never let its owner fall into the sea

Might be the coolest thing ever!

WAW merge stas motoru ca un ceas elvetian motor profesional si sunetul este placut merge si 50 de ani de functionare

No electric motor can give you such vibes.

Moves like there's a a real big prop underneath.

Imagine being out on the water enjoying the peace and quiet and this guy shows up to fish.

A real Water-Tractor... love it!

They may be unique now, but, in my youth they were ubiquitous, I really liked to “chug” up the river.

It works like my S15 Andoria tractor :) Sounds good:)

Egera Station in the 60's , water pumps when no wind for windmills plus one at the Homstead for Emergancy lighting. We used Carbide lamps elsewhere

Nice sound !

Lol....every fish within a 5 mile radius can hear that thing coming! Sounds just like the Chevy Vega that my vuddy drove in high school. 😂

Best regards from Buschmähn nice posts you have my subscription

African queen memories

Ain't nobody stealing that!

Used to cald these one-lungers "vop vops"

Nice!😍

Sounds like my old YSE8 starting on my boat.

GOD THEM MY MAN IS HAULING💪

African Queen boat Bogart at the helm da captain

Built to last forever

Yep. coolest.

Had one save my butt in gulf of mexico

And probably still putting away with out an issue even now.

Wisconsin queen

Nice

That’s the way my mwn engine from my Fendt dieselross tractor sounds haha 🤣

Very, Cool.

So awesome

Couldn’t take us on a small tour, huh? Just go in circles.

That noise would drive me crazy

Cool😊

horsepower on that single cylinder? 🙋🇺🇸👍

A thumper!

The definition of dangerous...but still interesting.

Ode to a simpler time

What is average fuel consumption?

How every boat in movies sound

главное чтобы не намотало на волне))))

От этого грохота вся рыба сдохнет в озере🙈😁

how does this engine qualify as unique? Was it a prototype?

now the fish are awake if they weren't.

What brand engineer is it

It's only "unique" if there is just one in existence.

That's the shit.

Is that Albin Motor ?

Albin brand ?

It was a nice and strong engine, but it's not good to sit beside that giant flywheels, it may crash you

I think it’s an old lister.

Tobata?

Is that a Petter?

I hope you are wearing hearing protection.

110 km/h

Just a bump on the throttle, just a bump...that's enough...

hmmm 🤔a large open flywheel turning at high RPM on a boat, what could possibly go wrong?.... Everything! Everything could go wrong. Nice old motor though

Whats 7 times 7! Me as fuck:

Make and break

Are these old diesels more efficient than a modern engine?

That engine isn't unique, there were and still are hundreds of them around.

What cc?

Sounds cool unless you're a fish.

Death trap

A girly engine.

🤣 here in My country its not unique... Last 60 years almost every small boat powered by that motor.

I think that’s called a hit and miss engine isn’t it? I’ve only ever seen one other in my life

wait did that engine just reverse the way its rotating!? if so thats really cool
