MAN presented its new
V12-1650hp marine engine for yachts and pleasure craft in the 50 to 100-foot class.
With its 12 cylinders and 1,650hp or 1213kW it closes the gap in the upper
power segment between the V12 rated at 1550hp and the top-rated
12-cylinder unit with 1800hp. At only 2400 kg the low weight of
the V12-1650 ensures an excellent weight-to-power ratio of 1.45 kg per hp and
thus maximum efficiency in marine operation. The V12-1650 is the ideal engine for yacht owners who are looking to cruise in
comfort and above all to cover longer distances overnight. The reason for this
is its maximum torque of 5,520 Nm, which is available at speeds even as low as
1,200 rpm. MAN yacht engines are also well known for their compact dimensions and thus give
architects and boat-builders a good deal of room for manoeuvre. The V12-1650
merges well into the array of space-saving engines and features convincingly
compact dimensions of 1,667 x 1,150 x 1,350 mm (length x width x height). MAN's
engineers have achieved this by, among other things, using a weight and
space-saving SAE1 flywheel housing. One advantage for installation of the engine
at the boat-builders is the exhaust system, which has one central outlet. The
water pump is driven by a gear instead of a V-belt, which considerably reduces
the maintenance effort. Beside this all parts requiring servicing, such as fuel and oil filters, are so
efficiently positioned in the V12-1650 that they are easily accessible from the
centre gangway.
