Vetus Diesel Engines

Two Cylinder Engines

The revised M-Line includes a pair of two-cylinder engines, the Vetus Diesel M2.13 (12hp) and M2.18 (16hp). Both feature a water-cooled aluminium top cover which enables a temperature reduction of up to 20% in the engine room, with the cooler ambient temperature providing a more fuel-efficient air supply to the engine and better combustion.

These engines have indirect cooling for long life and a Mitsubishi base engine for dependability... is it worth scrimping when you can buy Vetus superiority?

Three Cylinder Engines

The 27hp Vetus Diesel M3.29 is based on the dependable Mitsubishi L-series block. The new aluminium top cover and air filter have contributed to a noise reduction of about 5 dB(A) and 'near silent' running at a cruising speed of 2,200 rpm. Like all Vetus diesel engines is supplied with control panel, engine mounts and panel wiring harness.

Four Cylinder Engines

The Mitsubishi-based Vetus Diesel M4.35 (33hp) and M4.45 (42hp) and turbocharged M4.56 (52hp) are top sellers: their smooth, slow (3,000rpm) and quiet running, compact size and simple design means low fuel consumption and lower running costs. They have been redesigned to give better access to the water pump, as well as adding the new water-cooled top cover which reduced engine room temperature and sound levels.

The VH4-65 (65hp) and the VH4-80 (80hp) are based on a Hyundai-Mitsubishi block and are modern units at a class-leading price.

Sail Drive

All M-Line (yellow) Vetus marine diesel engines may be supplied with a sail drive. Two transmission rations (2.23:1 and 2.49:1) have been selected to match engine power and speed to propeller size, with identical ratios both ahead and astern. This feature is ideal for twin-engine installations such as a catamaran, with one left-hand and one right-hand propeller.

Options:
- GRP engine bed for M2.13, M2.18, M3.29, M4.35, M4.45 & M4.56
- GRP engine bed for VH4.65 & VH4.80

VF Series

The Vetus F-Line common-rail marine diesel engines with VGT turbo are especially designed for installation in fast semi-planing and planing boats. These engines are compact, lightweight, fuel-efficient and have an excellent power to weight ratio. They use the SAEJ1939 bus protocol. The F-Line engines are available with a shaft-drive gearbox or a Mercruiser Bravo sterndrive.

NEW! Vetus Deutz Engines

The new Deutz-based VD4.120 (122hp) and VD4.140 (140hp) utilise a renown vibration-free Deutz base engine, the use of sophisticated marinisation techniques and high quality materials to guarantee reliability, smoothness and longevity. The larger VD6.170 (170hp) and VD6.210 (210hp) are also based on well-proven Deutz engines and have been marinised by Vetus to bring the optimum in reliability and efficiency.

These common-rail engines conform to RCD2 emissions regulations and are highly reliable and durable. They use a CAN bus system which works with SAEJ1929 and NMEA2000 systems. The water-cooled top cover will reduce heat and engine noise. The revised engines also feature more compact air filters, new exhaust manifold insulation and high output alternators.

Control Panels

Vetus Diesel engines are supplied with engine control panel, wiring harness and engine mounts. Control panels are described in the table below and may be upgraded at additional cost. Please note that although upgrade from the MP10 panel to the MP34 is possible, we do not recommend this.

	Panel model	Gauges	Warnings	Dimensions	Upgrade possible?
	MP10	-	5 lights + buzzer	156 x 94mm 120mm depth	To MP22 To MP34
	MP22	Tachometer, voltmeter.	5 lights + buzzer	193 x 161mm 121mm depth	To MP34
	MP34	Tachometer, voltmeter, temperature, oil pressure.	6 lights + buzzer	255 x 161mm 121mm depth	N/A

Dimensions shown for engines are for the maximum in each direction: in most cases the maximum width is defined by the outer limits of the engine mounts and the actual width of the engine itself may be smaller than the dimension shown. Not all gearbox options or ratios are shown and those that are shown may have been rounded to the nearest decimal point; engines are also available without gearbox.

NEW! Diesel Generator Sets

Vetus generators are available in both 3,000 rpm (GHS / GHX) and 1,500 rpm (GLX) versions. Models are available in single phase (230V) or three phase (230v/400v). All generators are available with or without a soundbox, with the exception of the GHS4, which is only supplied with a soundbox.

The Vetus GX series generator sets produce a very clean sine wave with low signal noise (<3%) and low voltage variance (+/-2%). They feature overload protection and have been designed for easy installation, easy maintenance and high serviceability.

The standard scope of supply includes the remote control panel and 6m extension cable, plus water intake kit and exhaust kit.
