Yanmar America is at booth 2511 at the International WorkBoat Show.

Yanmar is set to showcase its advanced marine propulsion technology at the 2024 International WorkBoat Show, scheduled for Nov. 12-14 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. At booth 2511, attendees will have the opportunity to explore four of Yanmar’s premier marine engines: the 4LV, 8LV, 6GY, and 6AYE. These engines are designed to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and meet rigorous environmental standards.

All four engines featured at the International WorkBoat Show are designed with durability and user efficiency in mind, aligning with Yanmar’s long-standing reputation for robust and reliable marine propulsion.

4LV Series: Power and Efficiency in a Compact Design

The 4LV series has been engineered for sailing yachts over 50 feet, superyacht tenders, small motorboats, and light-duty commercial vessels. With powerful low-end torque, it provides superior acceleration and reliable performance. The 4LV sets a new benchmark for its class, producing low levels of noise and vibration thanks to its 2.8-liter displacement.

This engine exceeds EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD Stage 2 emissions regulations, ensuring operation that is virtually free of smoke and odor. With direct connectivity to NMEA and J1939 CAN-bus networks, the 4LV integrates seamlessly with modern multi-functional bridge displays, making it a future-proof choice for vessel owners.

8LV Series: High Torque and Versatility

The 8LV series is a compact, high-performance V8 engine designed for a wide range of applications. With twin turbochargers, it delivers impressive torque for quick acceleration and responsive handling. The engine’s broad power range, from 550 rpm idle to 3,800 rpm top speed, allows for both easy maneuvering and high-speed cruising.

Built with an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, the 8LV features a standard 180-amp alternator for continuous high-power output, supporting added electrical systems on board. Its electronic control allows for direct connectivity with NMEA devices, ensuring straightforward integration and enhanced vessel control. The 8LV series is available with the Yanmar ZT370 sterndrive, providing an ideal solution for high-speed, efficient marine propulsion.

6GY Series: High-Speed Performance for Heavy-Duty Needs

Yanmar’s 6GY135W engine offers power outputs ranging from 500 to 803 HP, making it an optimal choice for heavy-duty applications. Designed with a common rail system, the 6GY meets IMO Tier 2 standards and is expected to soon achieve IMO Tier 3 certification. This engine provides efficient, powerful, and reliable performance suitable for demanding commercial marine operations.

Built with Yanmar’s signature engineering quality, the 6GY is designed to support marine professionals who need a high-speed, robust propulsion system for a variety of vessel types.

6AYE Series: Stability and High Torque for Heavy-Duty Applications

The 6AYE series is purpose-built for marine use, offering excellent torque-rise characteristics for consistent performance under high load. This engine is ideal for both light-duty passenger vessels and heavy-duty tugboats, thanks to its ability to maintain stable cruising speed even during sudden load changes.

The 6AYE engine features a long-stroke design and includes forged rods, an optimized flywheel, and a water-cooled exhaust manifold. These elements contribute to its fuel efficiency and reliability. The 6AYE also boasts a wide minimum fuel consumption range, making it a cost-effective solution for operators who require high performance and long-term operational savings.
