Yanmar
4LV170
The complete line-up of YANMAR’s new-generation common rail marine diesel engines suits a wide variety of vessels from sailboats, multihulls, superyacht tenders and motorboats to fast sports craft and wake boats.
Overview
The 4LV series engine raises the standard for engines in its class, with exceptionally low noise and vibration alongside the 2.8 L displacement delivering powerful low-end torque and stunning acceleration.
By exceeding the strict EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD Stage 2 emissions regulations, the engines feature a virtually odor-free and smoke-free operation. Direct connectivity to NMEA and J1939 CAN-bus networks has been purpose engineered into the 4LV range, allowing future-proofed integration to any multifunction bridge display.
Over and above the impressive performance, the resounding benefit of the 4LV Series remains its versatility, with all models available with multiple shaft and jet drive options and the durable YANMAR ZT370 sterndrive. Fulfilling needs across all boating applications, it is the perfect solution for new builds and repowering.
