Proven Marine Power: Pre-Owned Caterpillar D398 825HP Diesel Engine

When your marine operation demands legendary reliability and unstoppable performance, nothing compares to the proven power of a Caterpillar D398 Marine Diesel Engine. This pre-owned 825 horsepower powerhouse represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire world-class Caterpillar engineering at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.

Running Take-Out with Verified Performance History

This isn't just another used engine—it's a running take-out from an active fishing vessel, meaning it was removed while still in operational condition during a vessel refit or upgrade. This critical distinction gives you confidence that you're investing in a proven performer, not a retired unit with unknown history.

The Caterpillar D398 has earned its reputation as one of the most dependable marine diesel engines ever manufactured. Designed specifically for commercial marine applications, this V-configuration powerplant delivers:

• 825 Horsepower at 1200 RPM – Massive torque delivery at relatively low engine speeds means exceptional fuel efficiency and extended engine life
• Proven Caterpillar Durability – Built to withstand the punishing demands of continuous marine operation, salt air, and extreme conditions
• Service Network Support – Parts and service support available worldwide through Caterpillar's extensive dealer network
• Efficient Power Delivery – The 1200 RPM operating speed provides optimal balance between power output and fuel consumption
• Commercial-Grade Construction – Heavy-duty components designed for extended service intervals and long operational life

Ideal Applications

• Commercial fishing vessels requiring dependable, high-torque power

• Marine generator drive systems

Smart Investment in Marine Power

Purchasing a quality pre-owned engine from a fishing vessel operation offers significant advantages.
