High Performance Straight Six
YANMAR’s fourth-generation 6LY-CR marine diesel series builds on the virtues of its classic six-cylinder forerunners, advancing efficiency and lowering emissions.
The new engine takes what was a very accomplished and highly popular power unit to a higher level. Like all YANMAR marine engines, it was designed expressly for marine duty.
After decades of distinguished service 6LY engines are still regarded as some of the best in the world for cruising and workboat duty. In has been transfigured into the 6LY-CR and is set to continue this tradition. Its small footprint, low height and narrow width will make it attractive for installation in new craft with ever-tighter engine room space. Its high power density in an ultra-compact package will also make it an engine of choice for replacement not only of earlier YANMAR units but also larger and heavier engines of similar output.
Common-rail
The 6LY-CR has common-rail fuel injection in place of single mechanical direct injectors and is rated for leisure marine and light duty commercial workboat applications.
There’s new pipe work to handle the higher pressures of the Denso CR system, as well as a new 24-valve cylinder head, along with redesigned inlet and exhaust manifold to assist engine breathing.
It’s unique features are:
- 4th generation YANMAR 6LY engine
- Purpose-built marine engine
- Legendary YANMAR reliability
- Complies with US Tier 3 and EU RCD 2 emissions limits
- YANMAR’s VC10 Electronic “fly by wire” control and instrumentation.
Electronic Integation
This latest incarnation has taken the engine into a new era of mechanical and digital sophistication. YANMAR have completely re-engineered the fuel induction and aspiration systems; all functions are now managed by state-of-the-art electronic precision for better all-round performance.
YANMAR have replaced single injectors with a high-pressure common-rail fuel system to deliver exceptional finely atomised fuel to the cylinders for better power-to-weight performance, fuel economy and smooth running.
Fingertip controllability
For the ultimate in easy and precise boat control, YANMAR offers the latest VC10 ‘fly-by-wire’ vessel control system to give precision gear changing and throttle adjustment with perfect ‘feel’. And with the joystick control option as part of a fully-integrated YANMAR engine and controls package, docking is also really easy.
Controls & Instrumentation
Single and dual-lever control heads have push-buttons for functional selection. Operations are precisely monitored on 3.5-inch robust IP66-rated display screens with IP66 waterproof rating and with full diagnostic capabilities plus UV-protection, anti-dazzle coating and anti-fog ventilation.
For maximum operational security, two parallel CAN bus networks separate engine and monitoring functions. YANMAR’s J1939 control bus is dedicated to the engine and drive control system while GPS, chart plotter and monitoring displays are handled by NMEA2000 data bus so that, in the unlikely event of J1939 failure, the system automatically switches to a pull-out back-up panel.
