The engine features a well-balanced system of rotating counterweights that neutralizes all vibrations, and minimal tolerances in all moving parts ensure the lowest possible noise levels. Automatic fuel control guarantees optimal fuel consumption. The open flywheel design allows for a variety of SOLAS approved starting systems including hand start, hydraulic start, spring start, and traditional electric start.
