Mark Milbourne repowered his recreational vessel with the 4045SFM85. "The new 4.5-liter is going to be a really good product for both commercial and recreational boat owners wanting good fuel economy and higher speeds," he said.
"The 4045SFM85 is lighter and about half the size of my old engine, but it packs some power for its size," said Donald Haught, a lifelong commercial fisherman. "I've calculated that it consumes about 19 liters (5 gallons) of fuel per hour — almost half as much as my previous engine. That's a great cost savings for my business."
Certified and ready to run
The 4045SFM85 engine ratings meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Marine Tier 3 and Recreational Craft Directive II emissions regulations, as well as International Maritime Organization Tier II standards for commercial and recreational applications. To date, this is the only known ABS-certified, 315 hp, 4-cylinder in-board diesel engine that will be type approved by the American Bureau of Shipping, DNV GL, Lloyd's Register and Bureau Veritas.
