    Attached are a few pictures of the engine todate.

    I see this motor also has the device to lift the motor after the jetty start.

    It is amazing that the motor is stable with the reduced upper support
    Since 1925, about 150 different racing outboards have been made.

    Default Sliding pipes.

    Thank you very much for the pictures of how the system is set up. No one could have explained it better then shown in the pictures you posted. I will be able to build the missing pieces and once I get further along I will post additional pictures.

    Dieter had realized that what Walt Blankenstein had witnessed and told him about the 6 cylinder opposed would be a problem. Apparently Dieter saw the great interest in OE at that time might help boost his company. With you Lars, Roger Jenkins, John Hill, Michael Werner, making big press, Dieter would be able to put out a formidable motor to win and promote the Konig line of motors. The primary weak link of the big Konigs was the lower unit. The six cylinder had a different weakness that only happened with sudden revs that twisted the cranks, but that mostly happened with lower unit failures
    …. not 1979 , not OE --> correctly = six cylinders and the city:linz
    fig. 1 and 2 show a dismantled crankshaft of V-six cylinders the könig-running engine.

    my information (correctly or wrongly ?):

    - 4 engines were built
    - 1 engine was divided and scrapped with
    - 1 engine is with one runs in the USA exploded and sunk
    - 1 engine hav a driver from the city "Hamburg" foe long time give a student (mechanical engineering) of the University of city "Kiel" - engine is missing
    - 1 engine completely unknown missing
    - the crankshaft is safe = dumperjack

    to the article from 1968

    könig builds the largest outboard motor of the world

    the water-sportily sensation from the year 1968 the first official demonstration of the largest outboard motor of the world with 140 HP, built of könig.

    already with test runs reached the boat speeds this make hope for the absolute world record.
    the speed test boat were so large, it itself during test trips much lifts and after backwards tilts.
    that means with 160 km/h dangerous situation for the test driver.
    for this reason became for a test in the back a bearing area cultivated like a negative elevator works, in the back lifts and lift that in front prevented.
    the new running engine assembly is by the V-type of two 65 HP of outboard motors developed.
    it has 6 cylinders, 3 carburetor, a common fivefold stored crankshaft, battery ignition and generator.

    Danke. You are correct, these pictures clarify it for those of us who have not seen it in person. It was hard to see and understand the support at the center going forward.

    Default Completed VB70116

    Here are a few pictures of the engine completed on the exterior. I am waiting on a driveshaft and coupler. The foot has all new internals that were part of Harry Brinkmans collection.
