VETUS VF4.145 – Marine Diesel Engine 145 HP

Description

Using a turbocharged and intercooled 2.8L four-cylinder configuration, the VETUS VF4.145 produces 145 hp at 4,100 rpm through BOSCH common rail injection. The supplied 17.5:1 compression ratio and EN 590 diesel requirement define the fuel-system arrangement. Shaft or stern-drive compatibility, ZF hydraulic or MerCruiser Bravo transmission options, SAE 4 flywheel housing, and electronic or hydraulic steering support the listed propulsion integration choices.

The 683-pound dry engine uses a 12V 120-amp alternator, indirect heat-exchanger cooling with 11L coolant capacity, and a water-cooled exhaust riser. Forced lubrication holds 8L oil. The supplied specification identifies EU RCD II and EPA Tier 3 emissions ratings, while the stated firing order is 1-3-4-2.

Key Specifications of the VETUS VF4.145 Marine Diesel Engine

• The 2.8L inline four-cylinder engine produces 145 hp at 4,100 rpm through turbocharged and intercooled diesel operation.
• BOSCH common rail injection defines the supplied fuel-system configuration for the stated 17.5:1 compression ratio and EN 590 diesel.
• Shaft or stern-drive compatibility requires propulsion-package confirmation alongside the listed ZF hydraulic or MerCruiser Bravo transmission options.
• An SAE 4 flywheel housing defines the listed engine-to-transmission interface for compatible shaft or stern-drive installation planning.
• The 12V 120-amp alternator provides the stated charging output for vessels using this engine electrical-system configuration.
• Indirect heat-exchanger cooling holds 11L coolant, while the water-cooled exhaust riser defines the specified exhaust arrangement.
• Forced lubrication uses 8L oil capacity, requiring engine-room access for fluid servicing and routine maintenance inspection.

Engine Configuration and Service Access

This VETUS marine diesel engine uses 94 by 100 mm bore and stroke dimensions in an inline four-cylinder configuration. The turbocharger, BOSCH common rail system, heat exchanger, water-cooled riser, alternator, lubrication-service points, and selected transmission should remain accessible after installation.

The 683-pound dry weight, chosen shaft or stern-drive package, electronic or hydraulic steering compatibility, cooling circuit, and exhaust arrangement should be planned together. Ensure access around the turbocharger, fuel system, cooling components, and transmission-service points after installation.

Why Choose the VETUS VF4.145 Marine Diesel Engine

The VF4.145 marine diesel engine combines 145 hp at 4,100 rpm with turbocharging, intercooling, and BOSCH common rail injection in a 2.8L four-cylinder layout. Buyers can assess its shaft or stern-drive compatibility, ZF hydraulic or MerCruiser Bravo transmission options, 12V 120-amp alternator, and SAE 4 flywheel housing. The supplied 683-pound dry weight and 11L coolant capacity support installation planning.

Installation and Compatibility Considerations

Confirm that the vessel supports the 683-pound dry weight, SAE 4 flywheel housing, selected ZF hydraulic or MerCruiser Bravo transmission, and intended shaft or stern-drive configuration. Plan engine mounts, shaft or stern-drive alignment, fuel supply, cooling-water intake, water-cooled riser routing, steering system, 12V wiring, ventilation, and turbocharger clearance before installation.

Use fuel meeting EN 590 requirements. Confirm provisions for 11L coolant capacity, 8L oil capacity, common rail fuel-system access, heat-exchanger plumbing, exhaust routing, and access to turbocharger, electrical, cooling, lubrication, and transmission-service components.

Warranty and Support

Warranty coverage should be confirmed against the current VETUS warranty policy applicable to the exact engine, purchase market, installation, and operating use.
