Key features and benefits for D13-IPS
To deliver 1000hp on demand, the D13 engine and IPS30 pod are designed and built to withstand immense forces. Upgraded pistons, camshafts, injectors and cooling systems all play their part to ensure a compact, robust and highly efficient package that is easy to install and maintain.
As the most powerful package in the IPS range, the D13-IPS1350 is ideal for yachts 60-120ft. The D13-IPS1350SD version is specially designed to power larger, semi-displacement yachts. The torque curve has been expertly modified to cope with higher thrust loads at slower speeds. The D13-IPS1350SD also has a wider speed range down to 19 knots.
Despite it’s high output and swept volume, the engine and pod is extremely compact allowing yacht designers to optimize internal architecture without sacrificing accessibility during maintenance. Available as twin or triple installation, the D13-IPS1350 optimizes power, weight and space.
Distinctive, forward-facing, twin counter-rotating propellers and individually steerable pods contribute to low fuel consumption and emissions data. The engine and pod forms a compact, robust and highly efficient package that increases efficiency by 30% compared to similarly powered rivals.
Together, the engine and pod is designed to optimize your yachts internal architecture. This gives excellent reliability and long-term durability. The immensely strong, cast-iron cylinder head and block forms a compact, robust and highly efficient package that is easy to install.
