series of marine propulsion en- gines. Designed for heavy-duty workboat and fishing vessel appli- cations, the Cummins engines are rated at 170 to 1,250 bhp for con- tinuous 24-hour propulsion ser- vice. Several reverse and reduc- tion gears are available for each model.

The compact V series engines are V8 configuration with "over- square" cylinders in which the bore diameter is larger than the stroke. Combining high horse- power, campact size, and light weight, the V-504-M is a naturally aspirated engine rated 170 contin- uous bhp at 2,800 rpm. The 555 series are naturally aspirated when rated for continuous duty at 185 bhp at 2,800 rpm.

The V/VT/VTA-903 series ma- rine diesels have the oversquare cylinder design and range in horsepower from 255 to 320, con- tinuous duty. The V903-M is nat- urally aspirated and rated 255 bhp, the VT-903-M is turbo- charged rated at 285 bhp, and the

VTA-903-M is both turbocharged and aftercooled rated at 320 bhp.

All are rated for continuous oper- ation at 2,300 rpm.

The N/NT/NTA-855-M series engines is Cummins's most proven diesel. They are 6-cylinder, in-line engines and operate at 1,800 rpm.

The N-855-M is naturally aspir- ated and rated for continuous duty at 195 bhp; the NT-855-M is tur- bocharged and rated 270 or 240 bhp; the NTA-855-M is both tur- bocharged and aftercooled and rated at 350 bhp.

The KT/KTA series engines are in-line 6-cylinder models. The

KT-1150-M is a turbocharged model rated 365 or 400 bhp at 1,800 rpm, and the KTA-1150-M is turbocharged and aftercooled and rated 500 bhp at 1,800 rpm.

The VT/VTA-1710 series are 12- cylinder, V-configuration diesels.

The VT-1710-M is turbocharged, rated 490 bhp at 1,800 rpm; the

VTA-1710-M is turbocharged and aftercooled, with continuous rat- ings of 545 or 620 bhp at 1,800 rpm.

Introduced into the fishing ves- sel and workboat markets in 1974 and 1980, respectively, the

KT/KTA-2300-M and KTA-3067-

M series complete the Cummins product line with the high horse- power, reliability, durability, and fuel economy required for such en- gine applications. The 2300 series are 12-cylinder, V-configuration design with ratings of 800 bhp at 1,800 rpm for the KT, and 940 bhp at 1,800 rpm for the turbocharged and aftercooled KTA. The turbo- charged and aftercooled KTA-3067-

M is a 16-cylinder model rated 1,250 bhp at 1,800 rpm.

With its extensive experience in the marine field, Daihatsu Diesel

Manufacturing Co. Ltd. of Osaka,

Japan, represented in North

America by Daihatsu Diesel (U.S.A.) Inc., has developed a new type of engine, the DL series, which features low quality fuel burning, low load operability, and low fuel consumption.

These DL series engines—DL- 20, DL-26, DL-28, and DL-32—are a medium-speed type (600-1,000 rpm) with outputs covering the range from 750 to 3,000 bhp. They are suitable for both main propul- sion and auxiliary generating applications.

Severe tests and experiments under various conditions on all parts of these engines were carried out at the Daihatsu laboratory and factory before they were placed on the market. The company's tra- ditional design concepts—simple and sturdy construction, easy maintenance, and lower mainte- nance costs—are fully incorpo- rated in the DL series engines.

Since the DL series was placed on the market, Daihatsu reports an increasing number of orders from many overseas shipowners.
