The first in a completely new range of electronic diesel engines, the Yanmar 6LY3A-ETP will be shown for the first time at the Southampton Boat Show 2005.

This turbocharged and intercooled in-line-six, with four valves per cylinder is rated at 480hp (353kW) at 3300rpm under ISO 8665 conditions and meets next year's EPA Tier 2 emissions regulations.

Statistics show that the new engine is lighter than competitors in its power class. With a superior power-to-weight ratio this is the most compact 480hp diesel on the market.

The electronic control offers constant power regulation, regardless of temperatures up to 50oC and synchronises the engine speeds of twin and triple installations. Its high pressure, electronic governing fuel delivery system contributes to the improved economy, reduces noise at idle, smoke and fuel odour.

Information from the electronic control system is shown on a multi-function display at the helm. The Yanmar LCD display unit, factory pre-set, provides full run-time engine data, including engine speed percentage

load, hours, battery voltage, coolant temperature, fuel usage rate, fuel level (by using an optional fuel sensor), plus boost and oil pressures.

The 6LY3A-ETP has gone into full production.
See the new Yanmar engine at The Southampton Boat Show 16 to 25 September on the Barrus Stand E047.
