At JB Marine GmbH, we proudly supply the latest generation YANMAR 6LY440, combining YANMAR’s legacy of innovation with German marine engineering expertise. The result: an inboard diesel engine that offers superior efficiency, intuitive control systems, and long-term operational dependability for both private and commercial users.

Unmatched Performance & Technological Innovation

The heart of the YANMAR 6LY440 lies in its compact 5.8-liter inline 6-cylinder engine block, renowned for its strength, smooth operation, and service-friendly design. With decades of proven performance, the new fourth-generation 6LY series incorporates groundbreaking innovations to deliver more power per liter, cleaner operation, and optimized control.

High-Pressure Common Rail Fuel System

Replacing traditional injector systems, YANMAR’s new high-pressure common rail technology ensures fine fuel atomization, resulting in precise combustion, higher power density, and significantly improved fuel economy. This system enhances performance while reducing smoke and NOx emissions, meeting IMO Tier II, EPA Tier 3, and RCD 2 environmental standards.

 24-Valve Cylinder Head with Redesigned Airflow

The upgraded 24-valve cylinder head with an optimized intake and exhaust manifold improves airflow and fuel mixing efficiency, leading to smoother torque curves, enhanced power output, and reduced vibration levels even at high loads.

Turbocharged and Intercooled System

The turbocharger with intercooling delivers robust acceleration and consistent power output while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency. This configuration makes the 6LY440 ideal for both high-speed vessels and continuous commercial duty operations.

Compact, Versatile Installation

With its identical footprint to earlier YANMAR 6LY models, the 6LY440 fits seamlessly into existing engine bays — simplifying repower projects and new boat installations without structural modification. Its 585 kg (1,290 lbs) weight ensures excellent power-to-weight efficiency.

 Intelligent Digital Engine Management

Equipped with an advanced digital control unit, the YANMAR 6LY440 delivers real-time monitoring of all performance metrics — including RPM, fuel injection timing, temperature, and pressure — ensuring optimal efficiency, safety, and reliability.
