Caterpillar 3126 Marine Engine Propulsion Info

Shown with
Accessory Equipment

Power produced at the flywheel will be within standard tolerances up to 50°C (122°F) combustion air temperature measured at the air cleaner inlet, and fuel temperature up to 52°C (125°F) measured at the fuel filter base. Power rated in accordance with NMMA procedure as crankshaft power. Reduce crankshaft power by 3% for propeller shaft power.

This Caterpillar Marine Engine can be operated with air inlet temperatures up to 50°C (122°F) measured at the air inlet, and fuel temperatures up to 52°C (125°F) measured at the fuel filter base. Power rated in accordance with NMMA procedure as crankshaft power. Reduce crankshaft power by 3% for propeller shaft power.
