VETUS M3.29 – Marine Diesel Engine 27 HP

Description

With 27.2 hp at 3600 rpm, the VETUS M3.29 is an inline three-cylinder marine diesel engine with 0.95 L displacement. This naturally aspirated Mitsubishi-based engine uses indirect fuel injection and specifies EN 590 diesel. Its SAE 5 flywheel housing, listed Technodrive TMC40 and ZF10M transmission compatibility, and three available reduction ratios establish important drivetrain checks for a conventional shaft-drive inboard installation.

Indirect heat-exchanger cooling works with a 40 mm water-injected wet exhaust, while forced lubrication has a stated 4.1 L oil capacity. The 12V, 110-amp alternator and mechanical or hydraulic steering compatibility should be included in vessel electrical and control-system planning. Dry weight is listed at 134 kg, and the cooling system capacity is 3.6 L.

Key Specifications of the VETUS M3.29 Marine Diesel Engine

• The Mitsubishi-based inline three-cylinder engine displaces 0.95 L, establishing the stated naturally aspirated diesel configuration for shaft-drive propulsion.
• Rated output is 27.2 hp, or 20 kW, at 3600 rpm for selecting a compatible propeller and drivetrain arrangement.
• Indirect injection operates with EN 590 diesel and a 22.0:1 compression ratio in the specified three-cylinder combustion system.
• Technodrive TMC40 and ZF10M transmissions are listed with 2:1, 2.4:1, and 3:1 reduction-ratio choices for drivetrain planning.
• Indirect heat-exchanger cooling connects with a 40 mm water-injected wet exhaust, defining the listed cooling and exhaust-system arrangement.
• A 12V, 110-amp alternator provides the specified charging output, requiring suitable electrical connections in the vessel installation.
• Dry weight is 134 kg, allowing evaluation of engine-bed capacity, lifting arrangements, and available machinery-space support.

Engine and Drivetrain Configuration

This VETUS marine diesel engine has a 76 x 70 mm bore-and-stroke specification, a 22.0:1 compression ratio, and a 1-3-2 firing order. Its 27.2 hp output at 3600 rpm differentiates the engine from lower-rpm options, while the SAE 5 flywheel housing and listed transmission choices establish the mechanical interfaces to verify before installation.

The engine uses a 3.6 L cooling circuit and a forced-lubrication system with 4.1 L oil capacity. Mechanical and hydraulic steering compatibility is listed. Fuel, cooling, wet-exhaust, transmission, steering, and electrical connections should be planned according to applicable VETUS installation documentation.

Why Choose the VETUS M3.29 Marine Diesel Engine

The M3.29 marine diesel engine combines a 27.2 hp output at 3600 rpm with a naturally aspirated 0.95 L inline three-cylinder configuration. Buyers can compare its 134 kg dry weight, SAE 5 flywheel housing, Technodrive TMC40 and ZF10M transmission compatibility, three reduction-ratio options, 110-amp alternator, heat-exchanger cooling, and 40 mm wet exhaust against the vessel’s shaft-drive propulsion requirements.

Installation and Service Considerations

Select the required 2:1, 2.4:1, or 3:1 transmission ratio and compatible Technodrive TMC40 or ZF10M unit before arranging propeller-shaft alignment. Confirm the engine-bed structure for the 134 kg dry weight, accommodate the 40 mm wet-exhaust routing, and provide service access for the heat exchanger, 4.1 L lubrication system, 3.6 L cooling circuit, alternator, and drivetrain components.

Warranty and Support

VETUS provides its 5 PLUS engine warranty program, consisting of 36 months of coverage for material and construction defects for eligible non-commercial pleasure-craft use, plus a subsequent 24-month limited coverage period for specified engine parts, subject to applicable operating-hour limits and warranty conditions. Mulmarine.com provides pre-purchase product guidance and order-related customer support. Review the applicable warranty information on Mulmarine.com before completing your order.

Before Ordering the VETUS M3.29 Marine Diesel Engine

Confirm that your vessel installation supports the 27.2 hp at 3600 rpm output, 0.95 L three-cylinder configuration, 134 kg dry weight, SAE 5 flywheel housing, and a compatible Technodrive TMC40 or ZF10M transmission. You should select the appropriate 2:1, 2.4:1, or 3:1 ratio and plan propeller-shaft, fuel, cooling, 40 mm wet-exhaust, steering, and 12V electrical connections.
