So Beta do the above engines.
Both are 1999cc and create 43hp at 2,800 rpm.
However the Beta 43 is painted red.
The Beta 43 Greenline is painted green.
What is the difference please?

Red one is sea water/heat exchanger cooled. Wet exhaust.
Green one is keel / skin tank cooled. Dry exhaust.

The red one rotates to port and the green one rotates to starboard?

Engine rebuilders generally colour their engines to denote the extent of the rebuilding.

Rog They're the same basic engine but with different cooling systems. The green painted ones are made primarily for the inland waterways market, they're not equipped with engine cooling heat exchangers or raw water circulating pumps, and come as standard with a two alternators fitted. The ones finished in red are equipped with heat exchangers and raw water pumps, and have only one alternator fitted. |

If you have any concerns about the cooling system I'd suggest its worth getting a red one as it can be converted to keel cooling/skin tank whereas the green ones would not be convertable to sea water cooling. Some people get overheating with skin tanks.

Thank you for the information gents.
Wiser heads than mine will be dealing with the engine, but having taken a look on-line, I couldn't readily see the difference.
Thank you again.

If you go for the keel cooled (greenline) version make sure the skin tank size is correctly specced as it can often be undersized which you won't find out 'til you're battling against a river current and the engine starts to overheat.
Also I have known a certain boat builder's (who shall be nameless but is no longer operating) workmen not put any baffles into the skin tank so, from the outside, everything looks OK but the coolant stream just tracks across the tank from inlet to outlet and doesn't use the effective area at all. Not much fun finding that out for the first time when you are battling a strong current.
