Naturally Aspirated Clean Marine Engine
01 Oct 2005
The new naturally aspirated Perkins Sabre M92B is claimed to be the only marine propulsion engine in the world to be certified as complying with Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine (CCNR) Stage Two requirements, which do not come into force until January 2007. The new direct injection four cylinder 4.4 litre engine supersedes the Perkins Sabre M92 and complies with all known European marine environmental legislation until 2011.
Based on the new high durability Perkins 1100 Series engine, the M92B develops 86hp at 2,400rpm, is 3dBA quieter than the M92 and is 6% more fuel efficient. It offers 500 hour service intervals and has a standard two year warranty, with three years on major components.
The M92B is also fully compliant with the European Stage II gaseous and particulate pollutant emissions regulations and the US EPA's Tier Two regulations. It is also capable of conforming to the EC's Recreational Craft Directive.
Dimensionally, it is very similar to the original Perkins Sabre M92 or the earlier Perkins M90/4.326, making it suitable for repowers of craft fitted with the earlier engines. Standard transmission options for the new engine are the Hurth HSW 450A, the Newage PRM 500D, or the Borg Warner 72CR gearbox.
