Vetus Diesel Engines

Vetus consider requirements such as environmental protection, reliability, durability, fuel efficiency and low-vibration operation absolutely essential.

In all cases, the smallest possible installation sizes, excellent power-to-weight-ratio and a good accessibility of serviceable components are central features. All Vetus Diesel engines are fresh-water cooled and may also be supplied for keel-cooling.

The Vetus Diesel range includes two cylinder engines (12hp, 13hp, 16hp), a three cylinder engine (27hp) and four cylinder engines (33hp, 42hp, 52hp, 65hp, 80hp). The new VF Series engines (140hp, 170hp, 220hp, 250hp) are ultramodern and compact and designed for conventional or sterndrive applications.

The Vetus Deutz range features four cylinder engines (80hp, 114hp, 140hp) and six cylinder engines (170hp, 210hp, 231hp, 286hp).

For further details about control panels supplied as standard, please check the notes at the bottom of the page, which also include further guidance about the information presented. We are able to offer the full package for fitting out, including exhaust systems, control equipment, water intakes and steering systems - see the Vetus Boat Equipment pages or contact us for further details.

Two Cylinder Engines

Three two-cylinder engines feature in the Vetus line-up. The M2.02 is a 12hp unit which is lower revving (3000rpm) and quieter then other engines in its class. The 13hp M2.D5 and 16hp M2.06 are similarly market-leading engines with its twin cylinders for smoother running, indirect cooling for long life and a Mitsubishi base engine for dependability... is it worth scrimping when you can buy Vetus superiority?

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 M2.02, M2.D5, M2.06, M3.28, M4.15, M4.17 & M4.55

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 actaul 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.

Diesel Generator Sets

Vetus generators are available in both 3,000 rpm (GHS) and 1,500 rpm (GLS) versions. Models are available in single phase (230V) or three phase (230v/400v). All generators (apart from the GHS4) are available with or without a soundbox. Standard scope of supply includes the exhaust system, water intake kit and a remote control panel and 6 extension cable.
