In turning our Leopard 45 into a fully functional liveaboard and remote area cruiser we've made quite a few additions. One was installing STEINBAUER PowerModules on our 4JH45 engines, and what a difference it has made! Based on our experience, we genuinely believe they're a great product with huge potential to benefit cruisers and boaters.

​There are a range of benefits to having a STEINBAUER PowerModule installed on your diesel engine.

• Better fuel consumption and performance

• Engine fuels as intended

• No revving to clear carbon build up

• Reach RPM limit faster​​

• No ECU footprint

• Easy installation

• Optimise engine for a larger prop size - more power with less RPM

• Robust construction (dust, vibration, moisture & heat resistant)

Here's what we anecdotally noticed on our Leopard 45, which has Yanmar 4JH45 engines.

• The motor was more responsive (quicker to accelerate) during docking and undocking. This made it easier to turn and compensate for the wind, especially when it was blowing towards the dock.

• Conditions where we would have needed to run two motors previously, now only need one. 

• Able to maintain a higher average speed with a single engine.

• Faster with the same or less fuel consumption, depending on the conditions.

• We don't need to rev the engine to clear carbon build up
