An engine-generator set with a single-cylinder diesel engine and an electrical generator with a rotor secured to the engine crankshaft. The rotor is cantilevered on an end of the crankshaft. The engine has an electrically activatable fuel injector connected to a continuously pressurized fuel supply, such as in a common rail injection system. The engine exhaust passes through a catalyst bed. In a marine version, the catalyst bed is disposed within an injection elbow.

A cooling system for a marine inboard internal combustion engine includes at least one engine cooling passage disposed in thermal communication with heat emitting portions of the engine. A pump is in fluid communication with the at least one engine cooling passage. The pump draws cooling water out of the at least one engine cooling passage. At least one outlet drain is downstream of the pump for discharging the cooling water that was pumped out of the at least one cooling passage. A switch activates the pump in response to the following: an operator command to stop the engine and/or a speed of the engine being below a threshold speed.

An arrangement of exchangers for marinization of a marine engine, including an engine block with in-line cylinders or cylinders in a V, cooled by a cooling fluid, at least one turbocompressor with a hot chamber connected to an outlet and a cold chamber connected to the cylinders of the engine block, a reverser including a housing and containing oil, wherein the arrangement includes: a radiator hose for supplying cooling water, a turbocompressor exchanger, an engine exchanger, a reverser exchanger, a radiator hose for discharging cooling water toward an outlet of combustion gases, downstream from the hot chamber of the at least one turbocompressor,
with these three exchangers being placed in this order and inserted in the circulation direction of the water between the radiator hose for supplying the cooling water and the radiator hose for discharging this same cooling water.

A heat exchange system for use on an engine-powered watercraft includes a liquid cooling system for cooling the engine using a first heat exchanger and a water heating system using a second heat exchanger for heating water. Raw water from an external water source is passed through each heat exchanger. Water used to cool the engine coolant inside the first heat exchanger exits the watercraft. Water heated by the second heat exchanger is passed to either an intake conduit or at least one onboard accessory system for flushing thereof to kill aquatic invasive species. A valve inside the second heat exchanger opens to release heated water when the heated water reaches a temperature of at least 140° F. Heated coolant from the first heat exchanger passes through the second heat exchanger to transfer heat to the water inside the second heat exchanger.

An improved boat and drive assembly intended for a boat used in a primary shallow water environment has a hull with an integrated closed internal engine heat exchanger and a drive assembly that includes a ring-within-a-ring steering mechanism and an obstacle resistant shoe plate. Stabilizer fins positioned above the shoe plate at a position forward of the spinning propeller allow air and water to exit from the rear of the stabilizer fins away from the spinning propeller. The heat exchanger assembly may include an axillary cooling tank and open heat dissipation system having a raw water reservoir continuously filled with raw water drawn directly from the waterway on which the boat is propelled to enhance the cooling capacity of the integrated internal engine heat exchanger.

A marine engine comprises a powerhead having an engine block, a cylinder head and a crankcase containing a crankshaft. Operation of the marine engine causes rotation of the crankshaft. A crankcase cover encloses the crankshaft in the crankcase. A supercharger is on the crankcase cover, the supercharger being configured to provide charge air for combustion in the powerhead. A cooling passage conveys cooling fluid between the crankcase cover and the supercharger so that the cooling fluid cools both in the crankcase and in the supercharger.

An outboard motor includes an engine, a first cooling water passage to cool a first cooling target including the engine and through which first cooling water including water from outside an outboard motor body passes, a first pump to pump the first cooling water from outside the outboard motor body to the first cooling water passage, a second cooling water passage to cool a second cooling target different from the first cooling target and through which second cooling water different from the first cooling water passes, and a second pump to pump the second cooling water to the second cooling water passage.

A drain system for a marine engine cooling system, includes an engine having one of a closed coolant circuit or an open cooling circuit, a raw water passageway having a raw water intake for drawing raw water into the raw water passageway, including a hose arranged to have a vertically high point and a vertically low point, a drain valve connected to the raw water passageway at the in hose vertically low point, a vent line connected to the raw water passageway at the hose vertically high point and a control handle located remote from the hose vertically high point and the hose vertically low point, the control handle having a vent valve connected to the vent line, the control handle being connected to the drain valve by a cable, wherein movement of the control handle selectively simultaneously opens and closes the drain valve and the vent valve.
