SOLÉ, Spain., founded in 1914 has made over 50,000 marine
motors since it was established.
SOLÉ DIESEL did not start to manufacture marine
motors until 1949, when it built one, two and three-cylinder engines
with a maximum power of 30 HP. These motors were completely designed
and built at the Martorell factory. Afterwards, an air-cooled motor was
transformed to a seawater cooling system, using Lombardini two- and
three-cylinder blocks. Over the years, SOLÉ DIESEL has developed and
created its own adaptation systems and original parts for adapting the
motors it has imported to a marine environment.
From 1972 onwards, SOLÉ, S.A. took up the challenge
of adapting engines of up to 150 HP to a marine environment, with a
Perkins, and then a Mercedes base. In 1978, the company took a great
leap forward - adapting motors to a marine environment using a
Mitsubishi base.
The company currently has the latest technology in
production, including numerically-controlled centres winches, new test
banks for engines, new test banks for gear changers, new installations
for production and propeller balancing, thus obtaining an 80% increase
in production over the last five years.
SOLÉ, S.A. has now attained "a
position of leadership in the range of motors smaller than 150 HP." It
has also been able to carve a niche in foreign markets, in Europe,
North Africa, North and South America, Asia and Oceania
Solé
marine engines are extensively used by professionals
and hobbyists on work boats, pleasure craft and narrow boats .
We have engines available with or without Gearbox,
With Heat Exchanger cooling or Keel
cooling. (Some engines are available with sail drive).
All Engines
Are Complete With :
12 volt
starter and alternator
Flexible
mounting feet
Control panel
with wiring harness: including tachometer, hourmeter,
Warnings for
water, oil and battery,
Ignition key
and electric stop.
Transported
in one strong box mounted on a pallet
Optional equipment i.e. Second alternator, etc can be viewed here
Light & Compact
These engines
are outstanding for their low weight and small size. This
is due to their compact design and the use of materials such as cast
iron and aluminium.
Low Vibration
& Noise Level
The small
mass of the moving parts such as pistons, conrods, the new
combustion chamber design and indirect injection provide a very low
vibration & noise level as well as clean exhaust gases.
Ideal for
Narrow Boats & other Water Craft where Noise Level
is a issue
Heat Exchanger
The cooling
system uses a thermostatically controlled heat exchanger
which keeps the engine temperature at the correct level, thus ensuring
longer engine life.
Electrics
The engine is delivered complete
with
electrics.
A 12V starter motor and powerful
12V 60A alternator with a highly
reliable built-in regulator.
The
control panel includes a tachometer with hour counter, a water
temperature gauge, audio & visual oil pressure, water
temperature
and battery charge control alarms all contributing to perfect control
of the engine parameters. |
