I will try to link to it tomorrow but the other day I read an article about yanmar anouncing it will produce a turbo diesel outboard. I think it was a 50hp. It will use way less fuel than comparable outboards and have twice the life. It will be a 2 cyl and have twin crankshafts and 2 connecting rods per piston, giving it a very smooth operation they said.

Maybe like the RR K61. It could have 2 x Opposed pistons per cylinder. Effectively a 4-cyl engine. 2-stroke ported. No cylinder heads. No valves. Diesel, so no need for spark plugs.
Looking forward to the link.

The link shows on here as 5HP, but the article is clearly the 50HP beast.
