The inboard would have been a jump from the v4 version......
and the packaging ( as mentioned ) great!
Same guys that did the Sea Drive i guess...all that great work and the bloody trim motor went through the transom....DOH!
I was told that the project was given to the stern drive team and hence the idea of changing the height was unknown ot them.
The Sea Drive had so many great design features......

I agree
I agree whole heartly, but OMC was afraid of emission regulations from the EPA banning the 2 stroke. Doesn'take a whole lot of sense, but thats what happened. It meet all the endurance requirements established for outboards at the time and was one sweet machine.

They made a major mistake on that one....it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback though.
Why did the rotary EGT get so high ??? A/C turbine APU's could get up to 1800F on start up on some applications, but usually max EGT at full load was 1000~1200F.
We did a lot of development work on a passive non-mechanical oil cooler for aircraft turbine APU's. It is called a eductor and took the exhaust airflow creating a vacuum to pull air through the oil cooler. It got rid of the mechanical cooling fan. I always wondered if that could somehow work in other applications.Last edited by Old fiberglass; 07-29-2009 at 09:48 PM.

eductor, aka venturi pump
A very sophisticated device, a minor spelling error

the first motors we worked with were..........
OMC castings.........there was a 70 hp sea drive prototype running before they canned it, i believe it was all the leftover parts from that project.......

Infinite Machine
If I remember the story correctly, Moller got The OMC 650 as part of his deal with OMC. He sold the rights and tooling to Infinite Machine. They got in a huge lawsuit ,which Infinite lost ,with a many million $ judgement against them. Moller settled for the return of his stock and all the 650 stuff.
