vw diesel marine application?

Has anyone ever used, or heard of the 1.6 or the 1.9 being used in a Marine application? Like as a inboard?

Yes! I've seen sailboats advertised with VW 1.6 NA diesel inboards.

If I remeber correctly, there was a company in Quebec that made the engine mounts & adapters for marine applications.

Google
"vw diesel" + inboard

You'll get a few hits.

I think they were called Pathfiner engines
