F-LINE

Next generation F-Line 4-cylinder engines

VETUS proudly presents the new generation of high performance common-rail diesel engines with variable geometry
turbocharging, which is especially designed for installation in fast semi-planing and planing boats. These marine engines
are compact, lightweight, fuel efficient and have an excellent power-to-weight ratio. The new range covers three different
models; VF4.145, VF4.180 and VF4.200 which are supplied with a SAEJ1939 Canbus protocol, meaning more precise data
collection through less wiring. The wiring itself is made from higher grade material and less prone to interference. The
VETUS F-line marine diesel engines meet the RCD2012/53/EU emission regulations.
The F-Line series can be recognized from the V-shaped intercooler and a newly designed top cover which gives this range the
well-known VETUS appearance, complemented by a revised heat shield on the turbocharger. Components are rearranged for
better accessibility and easy maintenance. The new position of the oil filter is near one of the engine mounts. Moving the
filter away from the hot side increases the accessibility and makes room for another improvement: to prevent oil spills with
filter changes, a small collector is integrated on the engine mount itself keeping your engine bay clean and tidy.
The VETUS F-line can be supplied as a gearbox and Mercruiser sterndrive version.
