Lube oil system with replaceable oil filter: 20 L (5.3 gal) with common rail fuel system, heat exchanger or keel cooling and electronic (A5E2 V2 ECM) governor.The CAT C7.1- ME425 marine main engine is rated at 2700 RPM and rated at 425 bhp (317 bkW).

CAT C7.1- ME ME425 marine main engine complies with US EPA Tier 3/IMO II emission certification (commercial), RCD 2016, EU Stage IIIA emission standard, CCNR Stage II standard by following EU Stage IIIA standard, air intake is turbocharged After cooling.As part of EMAC, CAT Marine also offers high performance propulsion and handling solutions.

Advantages of Cat C7.1-ME425 Marine Main Engine

  • It is synchronized with Cummins’ advanced design and sophistiCaterpillared manufacturing, adapts to harsh working conditions, and has high-intensity and heavy-duty work capabilities.

  • The Holset wastegate valve makes the low speed performance more perfect and the power performance better.

  • Holset supercharger with integrated wastegate valve, low speed response and strong power.

  • Using forged steel camshaft and crankshaft, high-strength cylinder design, many parts are cast on the cylinder, with high rigidity, high pressure resistance, good reliability and longer service life.

  • The cylinder liner adopts a platform mesh honing design, which effectively prevents oil leakage with a perfect geometric structure, and adopts advanced technology such as new piston ring components and gasket crimping molding to reduce oil loss.

  • The cylinder block and cylinder head adopt integrated design to prevent the occurrence of engine water and oil leakage. The parts are 40% less than other similar engines, and the failure rate is greatly reduced.
