Equipment Highlights

High Output Power

Delivers up to 4023 bhp from a V16, 78.1 L sequential turbocharged diesel platform, with 19% more rated power than previous 3516E models for premium yacht applications.

Rapid Acceleration

Improved idle-to-full-power responsiveness helps deliver faster acceleration and confident throttle response when high-output performance is needed.

Low Speed Torque

Significant low-RPM torque reserve above the prop curve supports confident close-quarters maneuvering in marinas, harbors and other precise operating conditions.

Compact Packaging

A 14% reduced space claim versus previous 3516E models helps optimize valuable yacht engine room space for new builds and repower projects.

Lower Heat Rejection

Low ambient heat rejection, water-cooled turbochargers and water-cooled exhaust manifolds help reduce ventilation needs and improve below-deck comfort.

Switchable Emissions

IMO II/III switchable capability, when equipped, allows operation in approved areas to help reduce aftertreatment wear and support fuel savings during international cruising.
