About the M2.18
The Vetus M2.18 delivers 16 HP from the same compact two-cylinder block as the M2.13, providing additional power for slightly larger vessels or those requiring more performance in demanding conditions. The engine maintains the same lightweight footprint, making it a popular upgrade choice.
Like all M-Line engines, the M2.18 features the innovative water-cooled aluminium top cover that dramatically reduces engine room heat and noise. The engine runs near-silent at cruising speeds around 2200 RPM, and its HVO-approved fuel system allows owners to choose sustainable fuel options without any modifications.
The M2.18 is available with a conventional shaft drive or Vetus saildrive unit, offering installation flexibility for sailboat owners. Luxfords stocks the M2.18 and can advise on the best configuration for your vessel's requirements, including gearbox ratios and saildrive compatibility.
