Marine Diesel Engines - Diesel Alternatives

Marine Diesel Engines 66L Duramax

We weren't expecting to see a 6.6L Duramax engine marinized so soon, but Exergy Engineering and Peninsular Engines brought out this 350hp, LLY-based engine that'd be perfect for high-powered commercial or pleasure boats. To eliminate the corrosion caused by salt-water use, the double-walled stainless steel headers, water-cooled Garrett turbine housing, and air-to-water intercooler all work with engine coolant that is routed into heat-exchanger tanks mounted on the front of the engine. From there, the engine's heat is cooled by water drawn up through the hull of the boat. We were particularly impressed that the engine was fitted with a number of production-truck pieces like the Hummer H1 Alpha oil pan. It wasn't rocket science, but these guys were able to take advantage of the compact packaging and oil-control advantages designed into the pan for off-road use.

    It's easy to see why the water-jacketed exhaust system makes sense when it's installed in a ship. In this 68-foot Hatteras sport fisher, two 2,500hp 16V-2000 CRMTU are mounted side by side in an engine room that's too small to stand up in.

  • Marine Diesel Engines Dashboard
    How's this for a dashboard? There are dozens of gauges to keep track of the 1,825hp, C-32 Caterpillar engines from the bridge of this 86-foot Hatteras, as well as a pair of video cameras in the engine bay that provide real-time footage on the in-dash video monitors.

  • Marine Diesel Engines Wiring
    Nearly as impressive as the dual diesel engines in these million-dollar yachts is all of the electrical wiring that's required to operate the powerplants.

  • Marine Diesel Engines Caterpillar 32L V12
    Who says Cats don't like water? Caterpillar had a number of its smaller engines on display-if we're allowed to call an 1,800hp, 32L, V-12, twin-turbo engine small, that is.
