The new Yanmar 6HY-ETE Series engine, said the distributor Power Equipment, provides a choice of flexible power outputs to cater for a range of uses, from high-speed planning hull vessels such as patrol craft, passenger ferry and cray fishing applications to heavy-duty displacement type vessels such as fishing trawlers or tug boats.
Power Equipment said the 13.73lt four-valve inline six-cylinder twin turbocharged intercooler diesel engine boasts four power ratings between 412hp at 1880rpm to 700hp at 2200rpm.
This low-profile, heat exchanger equipped package, which is offered with a full range of factory approved installation accessories, is already achieving great results for its commercial customers said Yanmar, with good acceleration, an ultra-clean exhaust and strong performance.
"We've already documented some very positive feedback from our customers in the local Australian market for the new 6HY-ETE," said Power Equipment national marine sales manager, Michael Blair.
"In the last 12 months we have supplied many 6HYs into planing and displacement hull repowers, from aluminium-constructed cray fishing vessels, FRP dropline fishing applications and steel hull displacement boats. All of our clients have reported improved acceleration, excellent fuel consumption, low noise and impressive performance," he said.
