Engines destined for a marine application almost always highest rated for a given engine than if they were being configured for another mobile application because of the cooling capacity of the heat exchanger system used. <br /> <br />Marine engines can commonly have exhaust manifold and turbo charger coolant jackets in addition to lube oil and engine coolant heat exchangers that pass heat to "raw water" sea water. <br /> <br />Many engines have cover plates over accessory drives in land based applications that are used in marine applications for auxiliary pumps for marine applications. <br /> <br />It is also common to find pipe plugs in blocks and heads for the same reasons. <br /> <br />Marine engines by the nature of their use have to develop high horsepower at a steady rate for long periods of time. <br /> <br />Because of the higher heat generated from higher horsepower, it can be said that marine engines live and die by their cooling system. <br /> <br />High humidity and salt water are hardly friendly environments.
