YANMAR 8LV-320 Marine Diesel Engine 320hp – High Performance & Efficiency
For ski boats, fast sports craft, and luxury cruisers, whether for new builds or repowering, the YANMAR 8LV-320 Marine Diesel Engine 320hp is at the forefront of modern propulsion technology. It delivers the kind of high-end performance typically associated with V8 gasoline engines, but with the long-life, cost-effective benefits of diesel.
This powerful YANMAR diesel marine engine is perfectly matched with Yanmar’s latest twin-propeller sterndrive, the ZT370, or the KMH50 inboard transmission. Engineered for maximum performance with minimal weight, this engine weighs just 435 kilograms dry, making it a lightweight yet powerful solution for demanding boat owners.
The YANMAR 8LV-320 offers best-in-class power, featuring a 550 rpm idle speed for precise control at marinas, thanks to the hydraulic clutch of the ZT370 or KMH50 drive systems. Its maximum engine speed reaches 3,800 rpm, setting it apart from competitors in its class. With high power, high torque, low noise, and minimal vibration, this engine ensures a smooth and efficient ride while maximizing fuel economy.
Equipped with a 12-volt, 180-amp alternator, the YANMAR 8LV-320 keeps all onboard electronics powered efficiently. Additionally, Yanmar’s proprietary CAN-bus control system, the Yanmar VCS, simplifies engine management, installation, and servicing, ensuring hassle-free maintenance and seamless worldwide support.
