Boat engine : in-board diesel engine 500-550 hp
(shaft-drive) Northern Lights
L1276A2 : 525 HP

High rpm, high performance throw-away diesels have their place in planing pleasure craft that rarely get too far from the local yacht club. But why put one of these engines, even a derated version, in your commercial boat or long range cruising yacht? These vessels need a real, heavy duty diesel that produces high, prop twisting torque at a rational rpm. They need a conservatively rated engine with long life features like the L1276A2.

Initially designed for Alaskan fishermen, Luggers have always been dependable. Used as prime movers on Northern Lights marine generator sets, they are well known by commercial and pleasure craft owners for long life and smooth, quiet operation. Today, electronic fuel injected engines like this L1276A2 are adding US EPA Tier II compliance to Lugger's reputation for reliability, simplicity and durability.
