VETUS VD6.170 170HP Marine Diesel Propulsion Engine

Description

The VETUS VD6.170 170HP Marine Diesel Propulsion Engine resolves heavy hull vibration and sluggish acceleration tracking on high-efficiency family cruisers, semi-displacement hulls, river taxi crafts, and luxury steel-hull canal boats. Operating on standard number 2-D marine diesel lines, this heavy-duty four-stroke engine coordinates common rail direct fuel injection systems to replace sluggish mechanical diesels entirely. Vessel skippers can navigate crowded commercial channels or heavy coastal currents safely, letting the turbocharged charge air intercooler handle changing load stresses smoothly up to a solid 4000 RPM full throttle range.

Featuring an indirect intercooled fresh water system via sea water heat exchangers, the vertical inline-six block prevents internal block hot spots inside unventilated engine beds or steering pedestals. The high-performance 3.200-liter computing block delivers an impressive 170 HP continuous crankshaft output, managing a standard 120 Amp alternator configuration array to keep auxiliary electrical banks charged without power faults. Procuring this premium Netherlands-manufactured inboard propulsion block establishes precise electronic engine tracking, protected securely under a standard 3-Year limited marine factory warranty policy to eliminate unexpected maintenance downtime.

Key Features of VETUS VD6.170

• Inline 6-Cylinder Four-Stroke Vertical Marine Diesel Propulsion Engine links an optimized 3200 cc displacement block with high-torque auxiliary profiles into a singular performance propulsion hub.
• Turbocharged with Intercooler Aspiration Induction System forces compressed charge air into combustion chambers forcefully to generate instantaneous low-end acceleration under heavy boat tonnage.
• Common Rail Direct Fuel Injection CRDI System multi-calibrates fuel pressure curves dynamically to minimize fuel burn while completely eliminating standard diesel smoking.
• Integrated 120 Amps 12 Volts Standard Configuration Array delivers high electrical current straight to deep-cycle house batteries to run complex navigation bridges easily.
• NMEA 2000 Output and VETUS CANV20 Control Lines transmits real-time RPM, fluid temperatures, and diagnostic fault codes across dashboard chartplotters instantly without external gateways.
• Strict EU RCD 2 Recreational Craft Directive Compliance fulfills strict global marine environmental protection laws by optimizing internal thermal combustion efficiency.
• Indirect Intercooled Fresh Water System via Heat Exchanger seals crucial iron internal galleries from raw saltwater corrosion using closed loop antifreeze circulation layers.
• Rugged 85.0 mm Bore by 94.0 mm Stroke Assembly provides a heavy-duty mechanical foundation engineered to withstand thousands of continuous industrial runtime hours.
• Low Profile Balanced Structural Bobtail Engine Core Layout limits dry weight metrics to 750 lbs to maximize high-efficiency semi-displacement velocity thresholds.
• Universal Fuel Grade EN 590 and ASTM D 975 Compatibility pairs natively with standard global marine diesels to prevent internal fuel pump knocking or component wear.
