basic specs look very similar to Volvo D3
Alum, 5 cylinder, 2387cc, VG Turbo, ....
but the outside looks different from a D3
This base 5cyl block is not only used by Volvo marine and Volvo automotive,
but also Volswagen and Audi iirc.
one of the Vetus dealers in Holland say's its a mitsubishi engine,
interesting engine for the sports boats market, where Vetus is not yet very active I believe.
and competition for VP D3,
how about price compared to VP ?

Looks like a Fiat/GM JTD 2.4L 2Valve, pretty impressive base engine.

The Volvo lump is different capacity

Cannot say for sure, dealer literature certainly suggests Mitsubishi, however our friends in the Far East favor V6 configurations at these displacements, inline 5 pot motors seem a European foible. I will find out.

It looks to be the FNM engine painted yellow, http://www.mshs.com/fnm_page.htm a marinisation of the Fiat/Alfa Romeo JTD, it has a good reputation in automotive use although how well it is marinised is of course the big question? seems they have now bumped their version to 300hp! Very impressive for the size and weight.
Edit: apologies the 300hp appears to be a different 3 litre 4 pot. The 250hp is the Alfa 5 pot.

To the best of my knowledge this is the FNM HPE250, but with a front mounted air intercooler instead of the top mounted unit on FNM's branded engine. Both based on the FIAT / Alfa base engine. Mermaid sold a few of the FNM units before we acquired the business. They are very good in leisure type applications, but I know of a few people who have fitted them in work boats where they are not suited for continuous duty at that rating.

Thanks everyone. Another possible choice to consider.
