Marine Propulsion Engine
(picture may deviate from actual engine)

Emission Compliance

Power Output Considerations

IMO II compliant
Accepted as equivalent CCNR Stage II
EPA Tier 2 compliant
DNV Clean Design compliant

Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to

45C combustion air temperature measured at the air cleaner inlet, and
fuel temperature up to 38C measured at the fuel filter base. Power rated
in accordance with NMMA procedure as crankshaft power. Reduce
crankshaft power by 3% for propeller shaft power.
