There is an air compressor, an air/fuel rail, and six injectors. Three fuel injectors introduce fuel
into the air/fuel rail. 80 PSI fuel and air are mixed and then injected into the combustion chamber
through three air injectors after the exhaust port is closed. The result is complete atomizing with-
out having to resort to high fuel-injection pressures. A single-throttle body air intake incorporates
Throttle Position Sensors for load and barometric pressure (to ascertain the correct air/fuel ratio)
and along with the air; lubricating oil is carried via the crankcase to the combustion chamber. For
ease of servicing the six injectors are contained in a neat extruded aluminum block, held in place
to the cylinder head by just two bolts.
The 40 Raider horsepower outboard uses 90% of common 50 Raider outboards outside of engine
block and heads. The Raider 40 only has two cylinders, weight under 150 pounds.
The Raider 50 & 40 offers multi-fuel operation, submersibility, no battery required, (however,
this option of an enclosed battery with electric start under the cowling can be ordered), pull start,
small enough to go through a submarine hatch and strong enough to operate after an air drop. It
offers superior human factors design for the operator. It is lighter than any outboard motor in its
class.
The Raider Outboard was designed, under contract by SOCOM, to provide an outboard that was
specifically designed to the toughness of military requirements and fully submersible without
bags with the ability to be cached.
What all this means for the war fighter is an outboard that is consistent, reliable, lightweight, and
durable that operates on most available fuels. When submerged the Raider can be de-watered
quickly - complete the mission and get home with confidence.
