Check out this OM 617 Marine conversion project!

Some very nice work here! MAN WHAT A JOB...

http://www.coastalboatsales.com/jfraley/gallery/albums.php

Mostly pictures but shows how they did those little things we have always wondered about. I haven't found an e-mail address but I have some questions;

1 Do both shafts turn the same direction?
2 Isn't that riser gonna' be real hot? Can it be wraped?
3 Will the OM 617's hold up to the extreme conditions?
4 Have they saved money vs. purchasing new marinized engines? (Obviously you can't count the labor!)
