Bukh DV32 ME

Bukh's DV32 ME is the world's smallest turbocharged marine diesel, yet it offers traditional engineering, reports Andrew Norton
TRADITIONAL ENGINEERING UPGRADEDEFFICIENT TURBOCHARGINGCOMPACT AND SENSIBLE

In comparison, with gearbox the Beta BV1505 measures 880 x 499 x 635mm.

The DV32 ME's starter motor is mounted about halfway between the engine bed and rocker cover top, while the 14V, 50amp voltage-regulated alternator is mounted on an adjustable bracket level with the rocker cover. The oil filter is to starboard and very easy to replace and the engine air intake to port is incorporated in the compact turbocharger. A choice of 3:1, 2.5:1 and 2:1 reduction ratios is available.

For more details on the DV32 ME contact Gary Townsend, tel (02) 9525 0011.
