About the M2.13
The Vetus M2.13 is the entry point of the M-Line diesel range, delivering 12 HP from a compact and lightweight two-cylinder configuration. Designed specifically for sailboats and small motor vessels, the M2.13 is one of the lightest marine diesels in its class, making it easy to install in tight engine compartments.
The engine features Vetus' signature water-cooled aluminium top cover, which reduces engine room temperatures by 15–20°C compared to conventional designs. Operating near-silent at a cruising speed of approximately 2200 RPM, the M2.13 is ideal for owners who value a quiet, comfortable experience on the water. The engine is HVO approved, allowing operation on sustainable hydrotreated vegetable oil fuels.
Available in both standard shaft-drive and saildrive configurations, the M2.13 provides flexibility for new builds and repowering projects. Luxfords Marine Industrial Solutions carries the full M-Line range with expert advice on engine selection, installation planning, and aftermarket support.
