Yanmar Marine engine

4LHA-STP

Yanmar 4LHA-STP: 240 hp (177 kW) at 3300 rpm, 3.455-litre turbocharged, intercooled four-cylinder marine diesel, the top 4LHA-P rating.

The 4LHA-P ratings (4LHA-HTP, 4LHA-DTP, 4LHA-STP) are the second, longer-running generation of Yanmar's 3.455-litre four-cylinder marine diesel, with turbocharger, intercooler and fresh-water cooling. They were sold as bare engines for shaft installation with Kanzaki KMH50A or ZF gears (Yanmar's own drawings show KMH50A and ZF68A, and older leaflets ZF45A and ZF63A). As the -ZP versions they were prepared for MerCruiser Bravo One, Two or Three sterndrives.

The STP replaced the 230 hp 4LHA-STE and has a wastegate boost compensator for acceleration. Yanmar's leaflets show it with a ZF63A gear, and its current drawings show a Kanzaki KMH50A. The sterndrive version is the 4LHA-STZP.
