Description
VETUS VD4.120 122 HP – Durable Auxiliary Propulsion Diesel
Bridging the gap between sailboat auxiliaries and motor yacht propulsion, the VETUS VD4.120 produces 122 HP at 2300 RPM through a robust, naturally aspirated 4-cylinder design. This Deutz-based engine is a cornerstone of the American cruising community, known for its longevity and simple mechanical operation in the most demanding offshore conditions. For the American sailor or trawler owner, the VD4.120 offers a fuel-efficient power plant that thrives under high-load transits, ensuring a stable and reliable journey across US coastal waters.
Adhering to USA EPA Tier 3 emission requirements, the VD4.120 focuses on mechanical longevity and clean combustion for a superior environment on deck. The engine features a robust heat exchanger and a dedicated freshwater cooling circuit, protecting internal components from the corrosive high-salinity air common in the Florida Keys and the Pacific Northwest. Its high-output electrical system ensures house battery banks remain charged, providing the power required for modern American marine electronics and onboard comfort systems.
