GMballistic Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm just waiting for zmanalex to post in this thread: "good condition used V20's in stock & ready for next day delivery". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsexr Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Down on the beach at Crackington haven and we went over to a rocky part that is only exposed when the tide is out. There were two of them and a couple of bent propshafts. Either a shipwrecked boat or they have been dumped and washed up. Might have to think about taking some tools and trying to get a souvenir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350zedd Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Might be from a WW2 German Schnellboot or motor torpedo boat. These were powered by 3 Maybach Mercedes V20 diesel engines which could propel the 100 ton boat up to speeds of 44 knots 50mph https://www.warhistoryonline.com/living-history/german/german-s130-schnellboot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsexr Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 thought they be a bit more corroded than they are if they were from WW2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350zedd Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 thought they be a bit more corroded than they are if they were from WW2 Yeah, you're probably right, but interesting all the same.

Zeezeebaba Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 As you surmise a marine engine as it's on the shore and also the only other application I can can think of is rail locomotives lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsexr Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) http://s-boot.net/pd...erim Report.pdf here yer go Daimler-Benz BOF8 MB501/511 diesel engines (20 cylinder Vee arrangement with 10 cylinders per bank and shell-bearings as opposed to rollerbearings on crankshaft), each engine developing 2,050hp, resulting in total power output of 6,150hp.

350zedd Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Very interesting, you'd think they'd try and salvage some of the wreckage as its so close to shore, instead of letting it rot away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shenley Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Here is a picture of one of the engines being taken out of S130, the only surviving 'Schnellboot' left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Need a hefty engine stand to work on that one eh! As a side note, surprised that engine bits are still on the beach. Around my way, any scrap metal left lying about seems to vanish within minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Seems like a good opportunity to stick this up: Thats the bottom end of a Rolls Royce Merlin engine, cant imagine the forces needed to bend the crank like that 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
