Sole Marine Engines

Small Engines, Ready to Fit

Sole marine diesel engines cover a wide span, from a gentle 16 hp up to a strong 272 hp. Every listing arrives as a complete engine and gearbox package, so the usual hunt for a matching gearbox is already done. That suits sailors, weekend cruisers and small workboats alike.

Four Families, Four Jobs

• Mini (16 to 63 hp): the small-boat family, with seven sizes to pick from
• SK (60 hp): one size, aimed at light cruisers
• SM (85 to 103 hp): the middle of the range, for family cruisers and busier workboats
• SDZ (160 to 272 hp): serious power for larger, heavier vessels

Reading the Model Numbers

• A model number is only a rough guide, so a Mini 74 is actually 63 hp
• Always read the hp in the title before comparing two engines
• Sizes overlap between families, so two engines of similar power can come from different lines
• All fourteen engines are listed as new, which removes one thing to compare

Choosing Well

Small differences in power rarely matter as much as a good match with the hull. Start with the weight of your boat and how many hours you run each year, then choose the size that leaves a little power in reserve. Send those details to Engine-Car sp. z o.o. and find out which package fits.
