The PowerTech 4.5L ratings join the previously announced lineup of John Deere Marine Tier 3 propulsion engines from 75 to 559 kW (100 to 750 hp). The 4045TFM85 ratings meet U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Marine Tier 3 emissions regulations, NRMM (EU 97/68/EC) as amended and are MARPOL Annex VI exempt.

“We’re excited to continue offering new Tier 3 solutions to meet customer needs,” said Heather Balk, marine market planner at JDPS. “The PowerTech 4045TFM85 engine is an excellent choice for newly constructed and repowered launches, workboats, trawler yachts and more.”

Features of the PowerTech 4.5L propulsion engine include a high-pressure common-rail fuel system, a water-cooled exhaust manifold, and the choice of keel cooled or integrated heat exchanger configurations.
