Model identification: “6AY650” has not been verified as a Yanmar factory model designation in the manufacturer documentation reviewed. The engine nameplate and serial number should establish the full model code before specifications, operating duty or gearbox compatibility are confirmed.
Understanding the 650HP Figure
Yanmar publishes the 6AYM-WST at 485 kW / 659 MHP at 1,900 rpm. Converting 485 kW gives approximately 650 mechanical horsepower. Metric horsepower and mechanical horsepower use different units, so these figures can describe approximately the same power. yanmar.com
This numerical match does not establish that the advertised 6AY650 is a 6AYM-WST. Request the offered engine’s nameplate, applicable datasheet and rating documentation.
