Cummins QSM11 680HP Marine Diesel Engine

The Cummins QSM11 680HP Marine Diesel Engine is a heavy-duty inboard marine propulsion engine engineered for vessels requiring exceptional torque, high reliability, and continuous-duty offshore performance. Built on the proven Cummins QSM11 marine engine platform, this 10.8-liter inline six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine delivers powerful acceleration and dependable propulsion for offshore sportfishing yachts, commercial fishing vessels, patrol boats, passenger vessels, and high-performance cruising yachts.

The Cummins QSM11 series is widely recognized for its durability, high torque output, and advanced electronic fuel management. The engine family delivers power ratings ranging from approximately 295 HP up to more than 700 HP, making the 680HP configuration a powerful mid-to-high output option within the QSM11 propulsion range.

At Coastal Wave Marine, the Cummins QSM11 680HP marine diesel engine is supplied as a brand-new genuine Cummins marine propulsion engine, complete with standard manufacturer accessories and configuration options suitable for new vessel construction, commercial marine fleets, and marine repower installations worldwide.

Engine Architecture and Engineering

The Cummins QSM11 680HP marine propulsion engine is built around a four-stroke inline six-cylinder configuration with a displacement of 10.8 liters, delivering strong torque characteristics and excellent power delivery across the operating range.

The engine incorporates Cummins CELECT electronic fuel injection, a full-authority electronic system that precisely controls fuel delivery to each cylinder. This advanced fuel system optimizes combustion efficiency, improves throttle response, and enhances fuel economy during marine operations.

A turbocharged and seawater-aftercooled air system increases air density entering the combustion chamber, enabling the engine to produce 680 horsepower of reliable propulsion power while maintaining stable operating temperatures.

The engine is also equipped with Cummins Quantum electronic engine management, which continuously monitors parameters such as engine load, fuel pressure, speed, and temperature to optimize performance and provide advanced diagnostic capability.

With its high torque output, robust marine construction, and proven reliability, the Cummins QSM11 680HP inboard diesel engine is widely selected by vessel owners and shipyards searching for Cummins marine engines for sale, 680HP marine diesel engines, or high-performance propulsion engines for offshore vessels.
