How Do You Say It?

Nanni that is?

Nanny..

Or

Narnee

We all need to get on the same page with this. We don't really but I always find myself saying it questioningly and I don't need to supply people with any further evidence that I don't know what I'm talking about lol

Always known it as Nanny

But they are French so possibly said with some je ne se quoi;

Does it really matter?

When all is said and done, it’s still french

En France, si le moteur tourne bien, on le prononce "Nanny".

Sinon, et il tombe en panne, il s'appelle " petite espèce de salopérie Japonaise!"

Well I always say Nanny personally but have heard Narnee plenty of times too.

Originally an Italian company, after it passed into French ownership they bought Renault Marine, who were pulling out of the marine market. They have had (still have?) partnerships with Kubota, Man, Toyota, John Deere and Scania. I don't suppose there will be any boats on the Broads with engines based on the latter two as they are a little on the large size.

Unless commercial traffic returns to the Yare

Nanni's low revving propulsion range is all Kubota based.

Their planing range is a mix of Toyota and John Deere.

The Mann and Scania engines are their separate commercial arm.

Their Gensets are Farymann for the smallest John Deere for the two largest, otherwise Kubota based.

Interesting that Nanni are still working with Farymann as they started their business in 1952 by marinizing Farymann industrial engines.
