As an Authorised Yacht Caterpillar® Dealer, we, at MOTORTEC, are committed to providing only genuine Caterpillar® parts, ensuring optimal engine and generator performance, reliability, and longevity. For yacht owners, captains, and engineers, maintaining the cooling and sea water systems of your CAT engine is essential for preventing overheating and maximising your engine’s lifespan. Ensure you keep track of the key engine parts crucial for these systems and invest in genuine CAT parts to get the best from your yacht’s engines.
Yacht Zincs and Plugs
Zinc anodes are vital for protecting metal parts of your yacht’s engine and cooling system from corrosion. When submerged in seawater, zinc anodes prevent the electrochemical reaction that could degrade metal components. For optimal protection, always use genuine CAT zincs and plugs, as these are designed specifically for Caterpillar yacht engines and generators, ensuring long-lasting durability in marine conditions. Replacing them regularly is essential to avoid damage to vital components like heat exchangers and pumps.
CAT Impellers
Impellers are responsible for sea water circulation throughout the engine heat exchanger to cool the engine coolant in view to maintain the correct operating temperature. If the impeller fails, it can lead to serious engine overheating. Genuine Caterpillar® yacht impellers are built to withstand harsh marine environments and are specifically designed for your engine’s needs, offering consistent and efficient cooling. Regularly inspecting impellers and replacing it at the first sign of wear is crucial for preventing overheating and engine and generator failure.
Caterpillar Pumps
The water pump is a critical component of the yacht’s cooling system, as it ensures that seawater is pumped through the engine and cooling system efficiently. Whether it’s the raw water pump or the freshwater pump, having a reliable part is key to optimal engine operation. At MOTORTEC, we supply genuine CAT marine pumps that are engineered to meet your engine’s specific needs, ensuring maximum performance and preventing breakdowns during operation.
CAT Yacht Hoses and Clamps
Marine engines operate in extreme conditions, which can cause hoses to degrade or become compromised. Leaking hoses or improperly fitted clamps can lead to a loss of coolant, could at the end resulting in major engine failure. Genuine Caterpillar® hoses and clamps are designed for longevity and tight seals, ensuring that the cooling system remains intact under high pressure and extreme temperatures. Replacing hoses and clamps at regular intervals is a cost-effective way to prevent potential engine damage.

Caterpillar Thermostats
Thermostats control the flow of coolant to maintain the engine’s optimal operating temperature. A malfunctioning thermostat can cause your engine or generator to run too hot or too cold, affecting performance and fuel efficiency but also could generate important engine damages. Genuine CAT thermostats are built to provide precise temperature control, ensuring that your engine stays within safe operating limits. MOTORTEC stocks the correct thermostat parts for various Caterpillar® engines, helping you keep your yacht’s cooling system functioning perfectly.
Yacht Engine Coolers
The engine cooler ( heat exchanger) plays a crucial role in regulating the temperature by thermal exchange between the engine coolant and the sea water. Over time, the sea water side of the coolers ( heat exchangers ) will automatically become clogged by Limescale, algues or suffer from catalytic erosion, leading to decreased efficiency and potential engine failure. Regularly cleaning the heat exchanger is a crucial process to keep your engine in TOP operation condition and using genuine CAT seals, gaskets and coolers ensures that your yacht engines receive the highest level of cooling performance. MOTORTEC offers a wide selection of CAT cooling parts, providing solutions for both minor repairs and complete overhauls
