 Features and Benefits

High-Pressure Common Rail Fuel System

  • Variable injection pressure and timing control

4-valve Cylinder Head

  • New cylinder head with 4-valve design provides increased air flow resulting in higher low speed toque and better transient response time

John Deere Electronic Controls

  • Built in controls eliminates the need for costly add on engine warning systems and associated components stored for later retrieval and ease of diagnostics
  • Built in engine synchronization feature

Watercooled Turbocharger and Exhaust
Manifold

  • Cooler and quieter environment for vessel and crew
  • Reduced external connection eliminates hoses an fittings that can leak or break

Replaceable Wet-type Cylinder Liners

  • Excellent heat dissipation
  • Hardened and precision machined for long life
  • Rebuild to original specifications

High Torque and Low Rated RPM

  • Excellent vessel control and maneuvering
  • Lower rated rpm limits vibration and noise

Cooling System

  • High-capacity heat exchanger designed for reliable operation in adverse conditions
  • Available as keel cooled

Corrosion Resistant Components

  • Provides engine protection from the effects of seawater

Centered, Vertical Injectors

  • Engines burn cleaner, resulting in lower emission and improved fuel economy with the aid of vertical injectors

High Power Density

  • High power density offers more power in a smaller package

Additional Features

  • Either side service
  • Optional auxiliary drive

Applications

  • Generator drive engines, propulsion, and auxiliary
