VETUS M3.29 – Marine Diesel Engine 27 HP

With 27.2 hp at 3600 rpm, the VETUS M3.29 is an inline three-cylinder marine diesel engine with 0.95 L displacement. This naturally aspirated Mitsubishi-based engine uses indirect fuel injection and specifies EN 590 diesel. Its SAE 5 flywheel housing, listed Technodrive TMC40 and ZF10M transmission compatibility, and three available reduction ratios establish important drivetrain checks for a conventional shaft-drive inboard installation.

Indirect heat-exchanger cooling works with a 40 mm water-injected wet exhaust, while forced lubrication has a stated 4.1 L oil capacity. The 12V, 110-amp alternator and mechanical or hydraulic steering compatibility should be included in vessel electrical and control-system planning. Dry weight is listed at 134 kg, and the cooling system capacity is 3.6 L.
