I need a light weight engine that produces in excess of 200 HP as a replacement engine in my ski boat. Can the Rotapower engine be used in this application?
To obtain the HP you require, plan on a four-rotor and lots of room for the exhaust system. You’ll need a minimum of 20″ of 1 1/2″ stainless pipe before the system sees water. Running exhaust to a collector pipe (like automotive headers) and then out is fine. Also the cooling system should be coupled a water-to-water heat exchanger to eliminate the possibility of corrosion in the water jacket passageways of the engine housing.
