Propulsion: Yanmar ZT370

Yanmar is launching a full line-up of 4LV sterndrive marine diesel engine models to complete its highly-acclaimed 4LV series of ultra-refined common rail engines. The new 150 to 250hp five-engine range combines with the new Yanmar ZT370 sterndrive to offer exceptional acceleration, fuel efficiency, remarkably quiet operation, and low vibration to suit a wide variety of vessels. Complementing the Yanmar 4LV inboard engine range introduced earlier this year, the corresponding 150Z/170Z/195Z/230Z/250Z horsepower sterndrive models feature the very latest in electronically-managed CR fuel injection systems. This next generation system uses Thermo Swing Wall Insulation technology to provide maximum thermal efficiency, leading to more complete combustion, adding efficiency in fuel consumption, torque and lowered emissions. The 150 to 250hp power range marine diesel engines are all based on an identical engine block with the same dimensions and weight, making it easy for boat builders to install various options.  The new models are fitted with the Yanmar ZT370 sterndrive with hydraulic multi-disc clutch for exceptionally smooth and quiet gear engagement, plus standard Exo hard-anodization coating to provide exceptional protection against corrosion. Ensuring optimal performance for a range of boats for recreational and light duty commercial applications, the ZT370 sterndrive is available in various gear ratios. Other features include precision-forged gears with extra-long service life, the choice of electrical or mechanical shift models, and an integrated exhaust system.

Engine: Yanmar 4LV 195hp

Yanmar introduces the new 4LV series engine, here shown in its 195hp version.  The 4LV will  be offered in a range of five engines with outputs from 150 to 250hp which harness the very latest in electronically managed CR fuel injection technology for the mid-section of Yanmar’s range of clean and efficient diesels.  Yanmar has released three of the anticipated 4LV versions, introducing the 150, 170, and 195hp units in Cannes. The engines have been specifically designed for the rigors of both sailing yachts over 60 ft, power recreational boating such as super yacht tenders and small commercial craft applications.  Demonstrating the Yanmar best-in-class features reflected throughout its new generation of marine diesel engines, the new 4LV range is clean, inter connective, quiet, powerful and fuel efficient. By exceeding the strict EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD Tier 2 emission regulations, the engines feature virtually smoke and odor free operation.  For direct connectivity, the 4LV range has been developed alongside Yanmar’s industry leading electronic control and monitoring systems and connects seamlessly with NMEA or J1939 networking. This ensures support of advancing marine technologies and allows future-proofed integration to any multi-function bridge display.  The engines incorporate the latest technology to enable very low vibration and noise levels for a smooth and quiet running engine. These include a chain rather than belt drive, a counterbalance shaft and refined component design.  Featuring a class-leading power-to-weight ratio, the 4LV delivers a powerful low-end torque performance due to the 2.8 L displacement. This results in a stunning acceleration and set these engines apart from others in their power range.  The digital control systems constantly monitor the engine to maximize performance and minimize fuel consumption, ensuring these are among the most fuel-efficient engines on the market.  Furthermore, the range will be complemented by a choice of Yanmar controls, which include the VC10 electronic control panel, bringing real time diagnostics, and the JC20 joystick system, providing innovative maneuvering solutions.

Engine: Yanmar 8LV 370hp

Yanmar has developed a new 4.46 litre twin-turbo V8 diesel engine, coupled to a stern drive or gearbox; the 8LV 370hp. The engine is EPA Tier 3 compliant, and was shown to the public for the first time at the 2011 Düsseldorf Boat Show. The compact 8LV diesel can be installed in single or twin configuration, with the new, hydrodynamic Yanmar ZT370 dual propeller stern drive or KMH50 series transmission, down angle or V-drive. It has a twin turbocharger and common rail fuel injection for superior performance in terms of fuel economics and acceleration. There are four valves per cylinder. In the Yanmar tradition of high power from low weight, dry engine weight is just 450 kg. This is the first engine to use Yanmar’s own, newly developed CAN-bus vessel control system, the Yanmar VCS. It can be ordered with the new joystick, facilitating 360º turn, sideways and diagonal movement. A key feature of the high torque 8LV is its wide power band. It idles at 550 rpm, capable of crawling speed in the marina, aided further by a hydraulic clutch, with both stern drive and gear configurations. Maximum engine speed is 3,800 rpm, well ahead of other engines in this segment. Further benefits are exceptionally low noise levels and minimised vibration, ease of installation and servicing, and the advantage of a powerful 12V / 180A alternator.The 8LV is expected to attract a wide variety of boat builders producing craft up to 45 feet for applications ranging from water skiing to cruising. Additionally, the engine will be used for re powering, offering the advantages of diesel over similar-sized V8 gasoline units.

Engine: Yanmar 6CX530 530hp

The new six-cylinder 6CX530 is a further addition to Yanmar Marine’s range of electronic control diesel engines. At 837 kilograms dry weight it is the lightest in its power class, well over 200 kilos less than some comparable-size units. It is the only 7.4 litre diesel available for the pleasure boat market. The common rail injection system used has been designed specifically for the 6CX530 by Yanmar’s engineering team and the package is completed with a Yanmar-manufactured gearbox. Power output is 530hp (390kW) at 2,900rpm. The power-to-weight ratio is 0.63mhp per kilo. It has the same dimensions as its predecessor, with height of 933mm, length without gear 1,340mm and width 886mm. The latest EPA and RCD emissions regulations are met in full.

Propulsion: Yanmar Sterndrive ZT350

The ZT350 is an all-new sterndrive, designed and manufactured by Yanmar Marine for use with its BY and LP series diesel engines. The quiet, hydrodynamic ZT350 has a new type of hydraulic clutch for smooth operation, precision-forged gears to add durability, plus two counter-rotating propellers to maximise acceleration and enable tight-hold tracking. Its large rudder dimensions allow superior handling on single and twin-engine boats. Weight with propellers is just 112kg. With maximum power 350hp (257kW) at 3,800rpm input the available gear ratios are 1.65 and 1.78. At a maximum 260hp (191kW) at 4,000rpm, gearing is 1.97 or 2.18. Aimed at the repowering market as well as new craft, the new Yanmar drive has the same installation dimensions as compatible units currently available in the market.

Engine: Yanmar BY2 Series 260hp

Yanmar Marine has announced the introduction of a new generation of it’s BY Series lightweight diesels, two years after the first of these electronically controlled common rail engines became available. The BY2 Series diesels, with NMEA 2000 CAN-bus technology, will provide the same output as their predecessors, the four-cylinder 150hp (110kW) and 180hp (132kW) models, plus six-cylinder versions at 220hp (162kW) and 260hp (191kW), all rated at 4,000rpm. As before, they all meet the latest EPA and RCD emissions regulations. The new BY2 Series engines will have many improvements incorporated. These include a fully jacketed water-cooled exhaust manifold. There are modifications to the turbocharger and heat exchanger, along with a full metal top cover, which provides protection to the fuel system components below and results in a lower profile of 23mm. The engine control unit (ECU) has been reprogrammed from torque to speed control, providing smoother operation and better synchronization on twin engine applications. A glow plug controller has been added as standard equipment, which virtually eliminates cold start white smoke. To provide easier installation of the engines and future servicing, the fuel inlet and return connections on the engine are now incorporated into a single manifold mounted on the lower side of the engine, along with a new two-piece flywheel housing for both sterndrive and inboard applications.
