Never heard of Isuzu Outboards... <br />Possibly a Repainted Nissan/Tohatsu? <br />Can you take a pic of it and put up here?

Isuzu makes a lot of diesel engines, is this a diesel? I did a search and could not find anything.

I've never heard of an Izuzu outboard, either. Dosn't mean that it dosn't exist, just that I've never heard of it. If none of the other guys have either, may mean a severe problem in getting parts. Could it have been a "Tohatsu" and you're just remembering wrong?

Re: Want to know who manufactures Isuzu Outboard

I think you mean the MerCruiser D1.7L DTI <br /><br /><br />The D1.7L is based on an Isuzu diesel and has an alloy cylinder head and DOHC actuation for the 16 valves. Unusually for an automotive engine of 1.7lt, it has direct fuel-injection (with glow plugs for cold-starting ease) but retains traditional mechanical injection timing. However, combined with the standard wastegate turbo and intercooling it complies with current IMO diesel exhaust emission requirements.<br /><br />Its not an outboard however but a sterndrive.<br /><br />Its available from mercury and is an excellant engine.<br /><br />Hope this helps..... :D :D :D

EFIS,<br />the 1.7 DTI was not available in 1988.
