Oooh aar missus thats a big one!
Flat out 500rpm?

It is many years since I worked on one, and TBH, I can't remember.
But at a guess, bit more than that, maybe max 2000 odd rpm, but they would probably run about 1200, max torque, and save fuel.

2k thats going some for such a whopper, bet it sounded great?
 
Yes, they sound pretty good, especially two of them in a tug under load pulling a train of lighters.

We have a few old barge guys down the club, you can sort of tell them from a hundred yards as they are the ones with roll ups on their bottom lip 24/7:D
