Yanmar Offers Lightweight Diesel Yanmar has introduced a new lightweight, six-cylinder diesel engine into its line of marine prod- ucts. The 4.2 L, 899 lb. vertical four-stroke, fuel-injected engine uses a four-valve intake-exhaust system and is freshwater cooled. The new 6LP-STE develops 300 hp at 3,800 rpm and measure 47.4 x 26.2 x 29-in.

In Morgan City, La., Kenny Nelkin, president of Candy Fleet, makes exclusive use of Cummins KTA-19 and KTA-38 engines for the main engines on his extensive fleet of crew boats. When he designed a 220-ft. (67-m) supply boat, he specified Cummins auxil- iary power for the new boat. The auxiliary package includes four engines. A six-cylinder KTA19-M rated 530 hp at 1,800 rpm will drive the bowthruster. This engine will also provide power to drive a fire pump. Ship's service will be provided by a pair of NT855-G4 turning 125 kW gensets. One of these two engines will also be equipped with a power take-off to drive a liquid mud pump. A NT-855-M rated 240 hp at 1,800 rpm will drive both a liquid mud pump and a dry bulk mud compressor. The hull of the vessel, with deck October, 1997 35 and house, was delivered last April from Leevac Shipyard in Jennings to Swift Ship in Morgan City for finishing out. Delivery of the boat is planned for the fall of 1997. A sistership will follow at a later date. At Steiner Shipyards, a similar auxiliary package is going into another offshore supply vessel Calvin B, building for Aries Marine Corp. Although the two boats are the same overall length, auxiliary power varies somewhat. The Alabama boat, with in-house design handled by Andy Overstreet, will have a pair of NT855 engines on the 99 kW gensets. Two more of the 14-liter NT855 engines will drive the mud pump and compressor engines. A fifth of these versatile engines, this one designated NTA855M to identify it as turbo charged and after-cooled allowing it to generate 400 hp medium continuous, will power a 45-in. sternthruster through a Twin Disc 2.4:1 gear.
