Fishing Boat Engines for Fishing Vessels in India
Overview of Weichai Fishing Engines
Weichai develops a complete range of propulsion engines for fishing boats, cargo ships, barges, ferries and naval vessels. Our fishing boat engines are built for challenging weather conditions and the toughest operating situations, delivering dependable power and fuel efficiency on long fishing trips.
What Is a Fishing Boat Engine?
It is a marine diesel engine that drives a fishing vessel and, in its auxiliary form, powers onboard loads such as winches, pumps and lighting. Weichai offers fishing engines from 66 HP to 550 HP, along with auxiliary engines, marine gensets and marine gearboxes.
Fishing Engines Range: Propulsion, Auxiliary, Gensets and Gearbox
1. Marine propulsion engines drive the vessel and are available from the WP4 to the WP13 series.
2. Auxiliary engines (WP2.3 to WP13) supply power for onboard equipment while fishing.
3. Marine gensets from 20 kVA to 625 kVA support lighting, refrigeration and deck machinery.
4. Marine gearboxes match engine output to the propeller for efficient, smooth operation.
Every model is part of Weichai’s wider range of marine engines, so you can also compare it with our commercial boat engines.
