...some of the following peculiarities?

1) emergency air intake shutoff
2) variable cooling rate (lower charge air cooling at low engine rpm/load)
3) no anodes anywhere
4) light duty classification, but allowing continuous operation up to 96% of max rpm/load
5) dual oil & fuel filters, allowing replacement while engine is running
 
Well, either marinised or built as marine engines from the ground up.
Basically, any brand/model of marine diesel engines meant for pleasure boats propulsion.

PS: just in case it wasn't clear, I'm not necessarily looking for engines with all the above features - just wondering which has what.
Frinstance, the CAT engines I've got on my boat (as well as some other engines I came across) meet NONE of the above points.

Thanks folks, but actually I'm not "looking" for an engine with all or some of the above features.
I just came across an old US magazine mentioning this stuff as sort of normal for CAC marine diesel engines - or as not so rare, at least.
But it definitely was NOT referred to special applications (like military, or whatever), just mainstream engines for pleasure boats.
Actually, it was mostly related to sportfisherman boats, though I don't think it matters, in this context.

Anyway, since I couldn't think of any engine meeting any of the above points, I thought to ask here, out of curiosity.
Now, coming to think of it, maybe Hurricane mentioned once that in his MTUs there are no internal anodes.
If so, that's at least one example of an engine meeting point 3 above.
But aside from not being 100% sure (happy to be corrected from Hurric, of course), I'm still wondering what other engines am I missing... If any? :confused:

PS: where's our official engine bible - AKA Latestarter1 - when we need him? :)
