Displacement: 5.9 litre [359 in.3 ] Aspiration: Turbocharged/Aftercooled

Bore: 102 mm [4.02 in.]
Stroke: 119 mm [4.72] kW [BHP] @ RPM
Fuel System: Inline Advertised kW 224 [300] @ 2800

All data are based on the engine operating with fuel system, water pump, lubricating oil pump, and 250 mm H2O [10 in H2O] inlet air restriction and
with 50 mm Hg [2.0 in Hg] exhaust restriction; not included are alternator, optional equipment and driven components.

Recreational / Light Duty Commercial Rating

224 kW
[300 HP]

58.4 LPH
[15.4 GPH]

Rating Conditions: Ratings are based upon ISO 3046 (SAE J1228) Conditions of 100 kPa hg [29.612 in] 27°C [81°F] and 60% relative humidity.
Propeller Shaft Power represents the net power available after typical reverse/reduction gear losses and is 97% of rated power. Fuel consumption is
based upon No.2 diesel fuel with a fuel weight of 0.85 kg/litre [7.1 lbs per U.S. gal] and the power requirements of a typical fixed pitch propeller.
1. Brake power BkW / (BHP) 4. Fuel Consumption for Brake and Shaft power.
2. Shaft power SkW / (SHP) with Reverse Reduction Gear 5. Fuel Consumption for Typical Propeller.
3. Typical Propeller Power Curve (2.7 exponent)
Recreational / Light Duty Commercial Rating: This power rating is designated for engines powering commercial boats which meet the conditions as
set forth below, and for engines powering pleasure craft for personal use only. This power rating is for use in variable load applications where full power
is limited to one (1) hour out of every (8) hours of operation. Also, reduced power operations must be at or below 200 RPM of the maximum rated RPM.
This power rating is an ISO 3046 Fuel Stop Power Rating and is for applications that operate less than 750 hours per year.
