Yanmar 4lV sterndriVe diesel engines

Yanmar has launched a line-up of sterndrive marine diesel engines to complete its acclaimed 4LV series.

The new 150 to 250 bhp five-engine range combines with its ZT370 sterndrive to offer exceptional acceleration, fuel efficiency, quiet operation and low vibration to suit a wide variety of craft.

The new 4LV sterndrive models feature electronically managed common rail fuel injection systems. The next generation system also uses Thermo Swing Wall Insulation technology to provide maximum thermal efficiency leading to more complete combustion, adding efficiency in fuel consumption, torque and lower emissions.

The 150 to 250hp power range diesels are on an identical engine block, making it easy for boat builders to install various options.

The new models are fitted with the Yanmar ZT370 sterndrive with a hydraulic multi-disc clutch for smooth and quiet gear engagement, plus standard EXO hard-anodisation to provide protection against corrosion.

The ZT370 sterndrive is available in various gear ratios. All Yanmar 4LV engines with ZT370 sterndrive offer a selection of control systems for commercial and recreational applications.

Offering a simple display solution, the Yanmar NMEA connection ensures engine data is available for all compatible display units.
