Lachuga Motors Marine Engines/Outdrives Inboards
!!!!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!! I do NOT care if you use these is builds, if you use the engines or the ECU and display , PLEASE give me credit, or don't post it to workshop. if you choose to post it in the workshop, i don't care if you go through and repaint, but please don't remove any branding or labelling , feel free to change colors, props or the mount position to fit your needs.
The Latest Marine technology from Lachuga Motors!
All of the outboards are hooked up and ready to go. the steering is all you need , and you can run it straight into the ECU and the angles will have a limiter to create a better handling experience. Just copy paste everything you see, or take the engine itself and hook it up on your own!
Included is the ECU that was a Collab project, and is complete with a digital readout with a built in speed converter, temp, fuel readings, compass, rps overheat warning and probably some things im forgetting! there is a display model set up and the seat is also connected to some simple outdrives that you can use with marine engines.
The Ecu is able to be adjusted to fit engine needs. It has an output that can go to outdrives or outboard engines to limit steering angle. there is also the original ECU without the screen display connected to every engine. Feel free to use either in your builds, but if you post to workshop, please give credit.
Engines range from 2 Cyl to 16 Cyl.
*T* Indicates if it has a turbo variant, that will not be listed as a separate engine.
2 Cylinder "LM 40" is best used on a small craft, such as a small boat to keep on a yacht for going to shore, or lifeboat, small short range fishing boat. it does run a little on the warmer side, but take it easy and she will take care of you.
Testing it on my "inflatable" boat on my yacht, was able to achieve around 13 knots.
5 Cylinder "LM 90" Would best be used for a small skiing boat, or in a dual engine set-up.
!WIP! Runs warm in sport mode! 8 Cylinder "LM 125 SAR Special" !WIP! Runs warm in sport mode! This one was built with search and rescue in mind. it is designed to be run in multiples, however if your boat is light enough one would be sufficient. it is fuel efficient and can run mid range RPS well.
12 Cylinder "LM X12 Dual Cool" *T* She's a bit thicc but it can make a small craft MOVE. i have seen speed of around 70 Knots in a single engine set-up on my tournament fishing style boat. Has plenty of power, but it is large so id recommend a single engine set-up on something like a small race boat, a tournament fishing boat, and quite possibly a small rescue craft. This is the first of my engines to test the "Lachuga Motors Dual Cool" Technology. testing with a total mass of 1900 , running at 25 RPS i have seen stable temps in the 60-70C range outside of the southern waters.
!!!! IMPORTANT !!!! MAKE SURE TO HAVE ADEQUATE WATER FLOW TO THE AIR SCOOPS LOCATED ON THE OUTDRIVE FOR COOLING TO BE EFFICIENT!
16 Cylinder "LM 200 DUAL COOL" *T* This is a more refined version from the first Dual Cool engine. this engine packs a punch, and is a great fit for using on a race boat, a tournament fishing boat, a center console type boat, or a rescue RHIB. i run them in a 3 motor set-up on a center console, and it goes around 60 knots, and sees cool temps around the same range of the original Dual Cool engine.
!!!! IMPORTANT !!!! MAKE SURE TO HAVE ADEQUATE WATER FLOW TO THE AIR SCOOPS LOCATED ON THE OUTDRIVE FOR COOLING TO BE EFFICIENT!
12 Cylinder "LM 150 Dual Cool" This engine is essentially a slightly smaller package than the 200. it was designed to replace the X12 Dual Cool on my bass boat WIP project. The original is available on my workshop as well. It would be a great fit for everything the 200 is intended for, but smaller. It was designed for speed. There is a Speed Converter located in the cowl, can be changed from Knots MPH KPH.

The best cooling will result from picking the right engine, the amount of engines, and your target speed. (this is very important, i experienced overheating on my center console, added another engine, and they run cool now , so be SURE to use the correct amount of power. realistically its probably somewhere about 7-10:1 Weight to Power calculated by swatts) the ecu is easily adjustable to configure it to your needs. if there is any refinement needed please let me know. i am working on making the 125 cool better, but the x12 and the 200 have had extensive testing and stay cool. but again this can only work when you are using the correct amount of power for your boats.
Will keep adding marine engines and accessories and fill in the description with special features and a little description to all items on the display, all will be tested before adding to the stand. will respond to requests or problems.
