For boats, the ability to slot an engine as low down as possible, or to mount twin engines low in the vee of the boat has been critical. The straight six has thus become the configuration of choice, as the crankshaft is still not as long as to require heavy strengthening, there is more capacity advantage over a four, and a six is far narrower than a vee-eight.

The mountability is excellent due to its flat top, and due to its narrow profile. Repowering a gasoline engine boat is now a pleasure, for this engine has more muscle and endurance to match virtually whatever was previously being used.

Features:

• Great endurance and excellent fuel economy
• More power and more speed
• Excellent economy with superb performance
• Proven Yanmar reliability

Race proven performance is inherited. Power-to-weight ratio is even more startling. Endurance and fuel economy are at a level that only a diesel could achieve.

It follows current user trends, the demand for more power and more speed. And because it is a diesel, smaller fuel tanks can be used saving hundreds of kgs of weigh, giving you an immediate speed increase.

The direct injection uses ultra-high-pressure fine mist injectors, making for excellent economy together with superb performance, with minimal smoke under hard use conditions. Fuel savings, precious energy savings, and an increase in safety accompany the change to a diesel.

All service points are conveniently placed high on the engine. Renowned Yanmar reliability and parts backup complete the package. An engine that will dramatically lift the performance of virtually ANY hull, and likely put you in the race winners seat, if you so desire.
