OFFSHORE & SHALLOW DRAFT REPORT and fuel efficiency. Caterpillar test engines rated 475 bhp at 1,800 rpm, in two 63-ft. (19.2-m) twin-screw workboats, reportedly showed an average fuel savings of 87 gallons per day. The new 3406E uses the same 14.6-liter displacement, in-line six- cylinder, four-stroke cycle diesel configuration as the mechanically controlled Cat 3406C. The 3406E also uses the same electronic control module (ECM) which has proven successful in larger Cat 3500 Series B marine engines. The module features a microprocessor that constantly monitors air inlet temperature, boost pressure, fuel temperature, engine load, engine speed and desired throttle speed. Following programmed parameters, the ECM adjusts fuel timing and duration accordingly to optimize engine power and torque.
