New Cat® C32B Next Generation Design Offers Highest Power V12
Today’s sport fishermen and high-end motor yacht owners demand an engine platform that delivers better, faster and more economical performance. The new Cat® C32B offers the perfect power solution.
"The C32B product line ushers in a new era for vessel operators by offering a high-power density V12 engine capable of powering many of the world's largest sport fishers and motor yachts," says Alex Berg, Global Head of Pleasure Craft & Yachting for Caterpillar Marine.
With more power, more speed and less noise in the same footprint, the new Cat C32B delivers 2433 mhp at 2,300 rpm and is the perfect choice for repowering sport fishing boats, motor yachts and other high-performance marine vessels.
The C32B product line is available as a 12-cylinder in a range of power options from 1800 to 2400 bhp (1825-2433 mhp). A more comfortable user experience results from the engine’s higher power density; the latest ADEM 6 ECM electronics; and reduced noise levels at lower speeds. Maximum power in the same footprint supports boatbuilders for easy repower installation.
"We’re pleased to work with our dealers as we place the C32B into new vessel and repower projects,” says Jon Jackson, Caterpillar Marine Product Manager for the C32B. “This reaffirms Caterpillar’s commitment to the yachting and sport fishing segments.”
An all-new engine design from the block up delivers 25% more power and better acceleration with its sequential air system. Plus, its advanced unit injection fuel system enables 25% quieter operation.
“By bringing an EPA Tier 3 and IMO III-compliant engine to market, we're enabling customers to enjoy reliable power with a relatively low carbon footprint, all while being served by a vast global dealer network," Berg says.
Having logged some 54,000-plus hours of rigorous testing and sea trials, the C32B delivers true peace of mind. Plus, industry-leading 10-year warranty protection, full coverage for two years/unlimited hours and available extended warranty are all backed by Caterpillar’s time-proven reputation for reliability.
Offering maximum power in the same efficient envelope combined with Caterpillar’s unmatched service and parts support makes choosing the C32B repower package a much easier decision for both builders and owners.
The state-of-the-art engines are also available with the newly enhanced Cat Concierge Plus program for unparalleled and personalized 24/7 global remote support.
With a network of more than 2,100 Cat marine dealers worldwide, technical expertise and the best parts availability in the industry, Cat marine engines assure trouble-free performance no matter where you are in the world.
