DLBA hosted an Outboard Propulsion Webinar which was a success

NOVEMBER 27, 2019

DLBA was proud to host its first webinar in the interests of opening up dialogue between industry peers and furthering knowledge. The topic was reflecting on the challenges and successes of integrating modern outboards on high-performance craft, with our definition of modern encompassing powerful 300HP engines, in triple or quad installations. The group covered topics like hull hydrodynamic design, transom structural design, and lessons learned in different areas of the field.

Outboard Propulsion Webinar

We were pleased to be joined by many in the industry for the webinar as we talked about the different aspects of integrating outboards at high levels, covering engine placement, structural design, motor well development and other facets. Plenty of observations came up from the minds assembled; such as “geysering” – when water sprays upwards excessively between engines, so we discussed techniques to work with designers and boat builders to avoid this phenomenon.

 

The webinar also looked at hull form, and discussed the sort of hull features that create a good base for a lot of outboards. We’ve had lots of positive follow-up since the webinar, requesting the information as well as inquiries on whether or not the event will be repeated for those who could not attend initially. If you would like to participate in a repeat of DLBA’s Outboard Propulsion Webinar, please reach out to us at info @dlba-inc.com.
