1030-1045: Break
1045-1215: Douglas Natoce’, OXE Diesel Outboard Motors.
The future of diesel outboard motors is here with new concepts in diesel versatility and a different form of power head-to-transmission interaction. Mr. Natoce’ will discuss and demonstrate the concepts through the “Life Cycle and Support of Diesel Outboard Motors” as well as the one fuel aboard safety aspect.

1300-1400: Greg Sharrow and John McFadden.
Forget what you know about Marine Propellers and see another concept in use. Sharrow Marine Propellers are so vastly different from our normal understanding of what a propeller should look like as to make any comparison unfair. New to the maritime industry these inboard and outboard propellers improve power application, economy and vessel adhesion through highly advanced Engineering and Machining Processes.
