Overview
A boat builder producing 10–15 m wooden and steel boats for lake transport and fishing needed a compact, economical inboard engine that could be installed by its own crew and maintained locally.
Challenge
The builder wanted one engine model for all boat sizes, supplied with gearbox, shaft coupling, and simple instrument panel, plus a starter parts stock and training material for its own mechanics.
Solution
| Item | Model | Qty |
|---|---|---|
| Marine diesel engine | SDEC SC4H100, 4-cylinder | 16 |
| Marine gearbox | Advance 16A | 16 |
| Installation kit | Couplings, mounts, exhaust elbows, panels, wiring | 16 sets |
| Parts stock | Filters, belts, impellers, gaskets, injectors | 1 lot |
Scope of supply
Package standardisation, engine-gearbox factory matching, export crating, CIF Tema, a photo-illustrated installation guide, and a video walkthrough of first-start procedures.
Outcome
The builder now offers the MARS package as its standard engine option. A second order of sixteen packages followed within the year.
Customer names are withheld; the case describes a typical supply scope built from products in the MARS catalogue.
