M-LINE
M-Line engines are quiet running, highly fuel-efficient, reliable and offer high power and torque output. 
The fuel systems are automatically self-bleeding, a great convenience after a fuel filter replacement. 
All engines are equipped with a high output marine alternator as standard for fast recharging of batteries. 
A second alternator is available as an option on all type M4 engines. And there is more….!

INNOVATION
Engine space temperature reduction
The heat build-up in engine spaces can easily reach temperatures of 70°C. 
High ambient temperatures in the engine space can have negative effects on engine performance and installed equipment.

VETUS has developed an elegant yet efficient solution by fitting a water-cooled aluminium top cover. 
Located directly above the cylinder head, this huge cooling element absorbs radiant heat coming from the engine. 
This innovative concept results in a significant temperature reduction of up to 15°C - a 20% reduction! In turn, the cooler ambient temperature provides a more fuel-efficient air supply to the engine and better combustion. 
To the best of our knowledge, no other marine engine manufacturer uses such an incorporated cooling element to reduce ambient temperature in the engine space. 
A truly unique solution developed by VETUS.

Engine sound reduction
People often go boating to enjoy the peace and quiet of the water. VETUS likes to add to this experience by creating a propulsion system that performs as quietly as possible.
The sturdy, aluminium top cover also significantly reduces the noise level. When combined with the newly designed air filter housing, tests show a sound reduction of approximately 5 dB(A) and ‘near silent’ operation at a cruising speed of around 2200 rpm. 
Those present at the test sites have all enthusiastically described the engine sound as being incredibly more pleasant to the ear.

Customers can expect the highest level of service when choosing a VETUS engine, together with high quality and professional advice.
All M-Line engines meet the RCD2 emission standards and some also meet the BSOII regulations.
