The Sabre 212 (often noted as “212C”) is a marine-diesel engine produced by Sabre Engines Ltd of Wimborne, Dorset, UK. It is a marinised version of the Ford 2726T base I6 engine.

 

 According to available data: the Ford 2726T (marine variant) is a 6-cylinder inline engine with a bore of ~105 mm and stroke ~115 mm, giving ~5.95 L (~363 ci) displacement.

 

The “212C” designation likely refers to ~212 metric horsepower or a model number referencing that output (with “C” meaning Commercial/Professional duty), whereas there is a “255L” version for “Leisure” duty (255 metric HP) using the same base engine

A typical second-hand listing (from a recent vendor) describes a Sabre 212 used marine diesel engine with 1.5:1 reduction gearbox, wiring loom, flexible mounts, etc. 

Here is a description + specification summary based on what is known about a Sabre 80 second-hand marine diesel engine (80 hp). Some details are typical for this class/model, though exact specs may vary depending on the exact serial / condition.

The Vetus DTA67 is a heavy-duty marine inboard diesel engine rated at 286 hp (≈ 210 kW) at the flywheel. It is part of Vetus’s marinised Deutz engine line, designed for reliable power in marine settings — suitable for large displacement yachts, commercial vessels, or heavy recreational craft needing robust propulsion.

 

This engine is derived from the Deutz BF6M1013EC industrial / diesel block, modified for marine use (cooling systems, corrosion resistance, exhaust routing, etc.)

 

Key traits of the DTA67:

•  It is a 6-cylinder inline turbocharged diesel, intended for continuous operation under load.

• Vetus provides necessary marine adaptations (cooling, exhaust flanges, instrumentation compatibility).

• It is suited to installations where a high-power, reliable engine is needed, with good torque and fuel efficiency at full load.

Designed for maximum efficiency and ease of installation, the D4-260 is extremely compact for its displacement.
A rigid cast-iron cylinder block and head, integrated balance shaft, and precisely controlled fuel injection system contribute to durability, stability, and quiet operation — ensuring excellent onboard comfort.

 

Unique Marine Torque

Volvo Penta diesel engines are known for their unique marine torque characteristics, offering:

• Increased load-carrying capability

• Rapid acceleration

• Consistent cruising speed — regardless of sea conditions or vessel load

This ensures powerful maneuverability and efficient cruising in all marine environments.

 

Low Fuel Consumption

A high-tech fuel injection system, managed by an advanced engine control unit (ECU), continuously monitors and adjusts key parameters. This intelligent control results in low fuel consumption, improved efficiency, and reduced emissions.

 

Electronic Control Systems

Volvo Penta provides two type-approved electronic control systems for seamless integration and operational precision:

• Electronic Vessel Control (EVC): Integrates engines, electronics, and a variety of optional features for enhanced vessel management.

• Marine Commercial Control System (MCCS): An open system that can be easily incorporated into existing ship control architectures.

  Long Service Life

Volvo Penta propulsion systems are engineered for long-lasting performance and ease of maintenance. A comprehensive range of high-quality oils, lubricants, and coolants helps maintain top efficiency and reliability. Optional accessories such as a fuel pre-filter further extend engine life and minimize downtime.

The D7C TA is a highly reliable, type-approved, marine diesel engine. Engine speed is well-matched to rated power with excellent torque characteristics. Offering a veriety of power take-off options combined with low exhaust emissions that comply with IMO regulations, the engine is particularly well-suited for displacement and semi-planing work boats in medium and heavy-duty service.

Featuring the latest engine technologies, the 4LV Series is undoubtedly cleaner, quieter, and produces more torque & acceleration than any other engine in its class. The 4LV is the ideal solution for sailing yachts over 50 ft, super yacht tenders, small motorboats and light duty commercial vessels.

The 4LV proves to be an extremely efficient engine without any compromise on quality. Featuring the newest system in common-rail technology, the mid-range engines deliver maximum performance and reliability, while maintaining minimal fuel consumption and exceptionally low noise & emission levels. By exceeding the strict EPA Tier 3 and EU RCD Stage 2 emission regulations, the engines feature virtually smoke and odor free operation. Equally, the 4LV doesn’t disappoint in performance. The 2.8 L displacement delivers a powerful low-end torque performance. This results in a stunning acceleration and really sets these engines apart from others in their power range. To ensure support of advancing marine technologies, direct connectivity to NMEA and J1939 CAN-bus networks has been purpose engineered into the 4LV range, allowing future-proofed integration to any multifunction bridge display.

Over and above the impressive performance, the resounding benefit of the 4LV Series remains its versatility. Fulfilling needs across all boating applications, the 4LV is the perfect solution for new builds and repowering. It is compact and easily fits into previous model footprints. An ideal installation for sailboats, motor boats, or light commercial vessels, the 4LV range will be complemented by a choice of YANMAR’s expanding controls, including the VC10 electronic control panel, providing real time diagnostics, and the JC20 joystick system, providing innovative maneuvering solutions
