YANMAR INTRODUCES NEW RANGE OF ELECTRONIC CONTROL DIESELS...

Yanmar Marine USA Corporation has introduced another engine in its new line of electronic control diesel engines. The 6LY3A-ETP is now in full production and available to boatbuilders and dealers for new installations and repowers.

This innovative engine is rated at 480 hp @ 3,300 rpm. It is a turbocharged and intercooled in-line-six with four valves per cylinder. As the lightest, most compact 480 hp engine available, it has a superior power-to-weight ratio making it ideal for repowers. In testing, it achieved up to 10% better fuel consumption than the model it replaces. The 6LY3A-ETP complies with EPA Tier 2 emissions regulations.

The technologically advanced electronic control provides constant power regulation and synchronizes engine speeds of twin and triple installations. Its torque-inducing, high-pressure fuel delivery system offers improved economy, reduced noise at idle and decreased smoke and fuel odor.

The new 6LY3A-ETP communicates through the state-of-art NMEA 2000 CAN-BUS system which allows for boat-wide network capability. The Yanmar LCD display unit provides full run-time engine data, including engine speed, percentage load, hours, battery voltage, coolant temperature, fuel usage rate, fuel level, and boost and oil pressure.
