COMPACT, LIGHTWEIGHT DIESEL EARNS ITS KEEP

 

        Mid-size workboats, commercial RIBS and rescue and patrol boats can benefit greatly from gas-to-diesel repowers.  For these applications, Steyr Motors of Austria offers its unique, 212-hp model 236 turbocharged  diesel engine.

 

        Steyr's muscular 6-cylinder Monoblock design and lightweight components provide the innovative

engines with possibly the best weight-to-horsepower ratio of any marine diesel engine line on the market

today. 

 

Utilizing an electronically controlled engine management system and patented, two-stage Unit Injector fuel injection, the Steyr 236 has a reputation for immediate response, impressive acceleration and reduced fuel consumption.  The dual-circuit cooling system meets current and future emissions standards and employs corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long life of the entire seawater system.

 

        Other important features include hardened valve seats, an elastic coupling on the flywheel to reduce vibration, a 14-volt/90-amp alternator and the ability to be coupled with MerCruiser Bravo I, II or III stern drives.
