The Yanmar 6CHE3 130 HP Propulsion Engine is a six-cylinder marine diesel designed for dependable propulsion in commercial and workboat applications. Its naturally aspirated 6.494-liter diesel configuration combines direct fuel injection, heat-exchanger cooling and mechanical engine control for straightforward marine operation. The L-rated version produces 95.6 kW (130 metric horsepower) at 2,600 rpm, while the M rating produces 84.6 kW (115 metric horsepower) at 2,550 rpm.

The 6CHE3 uses a conventional mechanical marine-diesel architecture suited to installations where durability, serviceability and predictable propulsion performance matter. Yanmar specifies a direct-injection combustion system and naturally aspirated configuration for the engine. The heat-exchanger cooling system separates engine cooling from direct seawater circulation and is designed for marine installation.
The engine can be matched with Yanmar hydraulic marine gear. For installations requiring a complete propulsion package, the correct gearbox, reduction ratio, shaft arrangement, mounting configuration and propeller selection should be confirmed against the vessel and installation requirements before purchase.
The 6CHE3 is suited to marine propulsion applications where a 115–130 metric horsepower diesel platform fits the vessel’s requirements. Potential applications include workboats, commercial vessels, utility boats and other marine craft using compatible shaft-drive propulsion systems.
Before ordering a Yanmar 6CHE3, verify the available engine-room dimensions, mounting points, shaft alignment, gearbox configuration, exhaust arrangement, cooling-water plumbing, electrical system and controls. The engine dimensions and dry mass are important considerations during a repower, particularly when replacing a different engine model.
Because the 6CHE3 is a marine propulsion engine rather than a universal drop-in replacement, compatibility should be confirmed with the vessel’s existing drivetrain and marine gear. If you are replacing an existing engine, provide the current engine model, gearbox information and vessel details so the installation requirements can be checked.
The Yanmar 6CHE3 combines six-cylinder displacement with a straightforward naturally aspirated diesel design and mechanical engine control. Its 6.494-liter displacement and 130-mhp L rating provide a substantial propulsion platform while retaining an established mechanical architecture suitable for service-oriented marine applications.
The Yanmar 6CHE3 has two published ratings. The L rating produces 95.6 kW, equivalent to 130 metric horsepower, at 2,600 rpm. The M rating produces 84.6 kW, equivalent to 115 metric horsepower, at 2,550 rpm.
The 6CHE3 has a 6.494-liter displacement with six inline cylinders, a 105 mm bore and a 125 mm stroke.
No. Yanmar’s specifications identify the 6CHE3 as naturally aspirated. The turbocharged models belong to other members of the CHE/CH engine range.
The engine uses a heat-exchanger cooling system. The published Yanmar specifications also identify a forced lubrication system using a gear pump.
The published specification lists an electric starting motor using a 24V electrical system with a 4.0 kW starter.
Yanmar lists the engine dry mass at approximately 630 kg without marine gear. The final installed package weight will be higher when the marine gearbox and other installation components are included.
It can be considered for compatible marine repower projects, but installation should be checked against the vessel’s engine-room dimensions, mounts, gearbox, shaft line, cooling, exhaust, electrical system and controls before purchase.
