Yanmar Marine engine

6LYA-UTE

In production 1997–2001

Yanmar 6LYA-UTE: 315 hp (232 kW) at 3300 rpm, 5.184-litre turbocharged, intercooled six-cylinder marine diesel from the late 1990s.

The 6LYA is Yanmar's second-generation 5.184-litre (100 x 110 mm) six-cylinder pleasure-craft diesel, with an IHI RHC7W water-cooled turbocharger and a sea-water-cooled plate-fin intercooler. Yanmar's 1998 catalogue sold each rating with a hydraulic angle marine gear as standard, or as the -M version (6LYAM-UTE, 6LYAM-STE) without gear. The factory service manual lists Yanmar KMH6A, Hurth HSW800A2 and Twin Disc MG5050A gears.

The UTE is the lower rating, replacing the 6LY-UTE at the same 315 hp. It is listed until Yanmar's November 2001 catalogue. By June 2002 the only 5.2-litre rating left was the 370 hp 6LYA-STP.
