Marine Diesel Inboard Engine Baudouin Model: 6M26.3
Product Overview
The 6M26.3 is a 16-liter, in-line 6-cylinder engine. It is a true marine-bred engine, meaning it was designed from the ground up for the sea, not converted from a truck engine. It is widely used in tugboats, fishing vessels, and passenger ferries due to its high displacement and ease of mechanical maintenance.
Power Ratings (Typical)
P1 (Continuous Duty): 441 kW (600 hp) @ 1800 RPM.
P2 (Intermittent Duty): 485 kW (660 hp) @ 1900 RPM.
P3 (High Output): 551 kW (750 hp) @ 2100 RPM.
Key Performance Features
True Marine Design: Features individual cylinder heads (easy to repair one cylinder without removing the whole head) and a cast-iron engine block with side inspection hatches.
High Displacement Torque: Its massive 16L displacement provides steady, relentless torque for pushing heavy loads or towing in rough weather.
Common Rail Technology: The ".3" version utilizes a high-pressure common rail system, which improves fuel efficiency and significantly reduces smoke and noise compared to older mechanical models.
Cooling System: Optimized for harsh environments with a gear-driven sea water pump and a high-capacity heat exchanger.
Maintenance & Reliability
Service Intervals: Designed for long service intervals to keep commercial vessels in the water longer.
Replaceable Liners: Features wet-type replaceable cylinder liners for easier overhauls.
Accessibility: All major components (filters, pumps, injectors) are placed for easy access in commercial engine rooms.
