c BUKH DV 24 SME - TECHNICAL DATA


BUKH DV 24 marine diesel with saildrive
24 effective  seahorses ensure comfortable and trouble free sailing. The exceptionally 
low noise level makes it a pleasure to be on board. 
DV 24 has direct fuel injection and this means 12 to 15 per cent lower fuel consumption  than the pre-combustion principle and longer life because of reduced thermal loads on 
the cylinder head. The cold start characteristics are also vastly improved. 

A BUKH Saildrive distinguishes itself from others in a number of important features.  Instead of just one rubber diaphragm to keep the water out, BUHK's saildrive is  equipped with a very strong double diaphragm which ensures total safety.

A sensing  element has been installed between the diaphragms which releases an audible alarm at the slightest indication of water penetration. This provides all the security you will ever need.  All materials - including bolts and diaphragm flanges - are rustproof and saltwater  resistant. The cooling water intake, separate from the saildrive unit, ensures efficient  cooling of the engine.   A newly developed multiple-disc clutch ensures smooth engagement of gears and  can stand brutal shifts from forward to reverse in critical situations.  The aluminum casing is resistant to saltwater. Specially cut conical gears ensure  noiseless power transmission. An easily replaceable zinc anode prevents galvanic corrosion. BUKH's saildrive complies fully with I.O.R.'s regulations for saildrives. 

A BUKH marine diesel is designed for a rough life at sea.
