Caterpillar’s newC30 marine diesel engine is available for worldwide distribution. The electronically controlled C30 is in the same size class as the popular Cat 3412E, but adds 150 mhp (148 bhp) --- an 11 percent increase. The C30’s top rating of 1570 mhp (1550 bhp) at 2300 rpm provides a significant performance boost for 50+ ft (15+ m) yachts. The C30 was designed for high performance; it accelerates rapidly, cruises smoothly and has exceptional reserve power for challenging sea conditions. Twin Cat C30s have powered a new Spencer Yachts 57-foot sportfisher over 9,000 miles in the past 3 months, reaching a top speed of 44 knots. “Speed is a big deal in tournament fishing,” says Paul Spencer, president of Spencer Yachts.
