## Overview

A provincial authority renewing its fleet of aluminium utility boats used for patrol, medical transport, and logistics required a batch of dependable four-stroke outboards with spares and basic training material.

## Challenge

The boats operate from remote stations with limited fuel quality and minimal workshop facilities, so engine simplicity, fuel economy, and availability of consumables were more important than peak performance.

## Solution

| Item | Model | Qty |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Outboard motor | Mercury 60 EFI 4-stroke, long shaft | 12 |
| Outboard motor | Mercury 115 ELPT 4-stroke | 6 |
| Rigging | Remote control boxes, cables, gauges, fuel tanks and lines, propellers | 18 sets |
| Spares | Two-year consumables kits: impellers, spark plugs, filters, gear oil, anodes | 18 sets |

## Scope of supply

Specification advice by boat size, pre-delivery inspection with serial-number list, crated packing, CIF Port Moresby, and an English-language operation and maintenance guide for station staff.

## Outcome

All boats were commissioned by local staff using the supplied rigging kits. The authority has requested a quotation for a second province.
