VETUS VH4.65 – Marine Diesel Engine 65 HP
Displacement canal cruisers cruise inland waterways with the VETUS VH4.65 inboard engine, which extracts 65.3 HP from a naturally aspirated 2.6L 4-cylinder Hyundai-base block at 3000 RPM, turning ZF or Technodrive gearboxes with 110 Amps charging at 536 lbs.
- 2.6L 4-cylinder block produces 65.3 horsepower
- 110-Amp alternator sustains domestic cabin power
- Heat exchanger isolates raw corrosive seawater
- Water-injected wet exhaust dampens operating noise
Using a naturally aspirated 2.6L inline four-cylinder configuration, the VETUS VH4.65 produces 65.3 hp at 3,000 rpm with indirect injection. The stated 22.0:1 compression ratio and EN 590 diesel requirement define the supplied fuel-system setup. Mechanical or hydraulic gearbox options, various ZF or Technodrive drive arrangements, and an SAE 4 flywheel housing establish the documented propulsion integration points.
The 536-pound dry engine uses a 12V 110-amp alternator, indirect heat-exchanger cooling with 9L coolant capacity, and a 60 mm water-injected wet exhaust. Forced lubrication holds 6.5L oil. The supplied specification lists EU RCD II and BSO II emissions ratings, alongside mechanical or hydraulic steering compatibility and a 1-3-4-2 firing order.
Why Choose the VETUS VH4.65 Marine Diesel Engine
The VH4.65 marine diesel engine combines 65.3 hp at 3,000 rpm with a naturally aspirated 2.6L four-cylinder indirect-injection layout. Buyers comparing mechanical propulsion packages can assess its 12V 110-amp alternator, SAE 4 flywheel housing, mechanical or hydraulic gearbox options, and ZF or Technodrive drive compatibility. The stated 9L coolant capacity and 60 mm wet-exhaust specification support installation planning.
