HYUNDAI SEASALL FOCUSES ON DIESEL PROPULSION

Hyundai SeasAll has released a trio of new diesel engines, the new SB30-OB outboard and a pair of engines based on the 6.7 litre ‘G’ family produced by parent company Hyundai-Kia Motors.

The two new medium speed G7 engines are the G300 and G350 and turn at 2,500 and 2,800rpm respectively. They feature solenoid-controlled common rail fuel injection and an electrically activated waste-gate turbo charger.

With an easily accessible seawater impeller, eco-type oil filter and electric oil extraction pump, the new engines and suitable for both commercial use and larger pleasure craft.

Growing demand for efficiency

The new SB30-OB has been designed in response to the growing demand for more economical ways to move people and cargo in the expanding Asian market.

High prices of petrol in the Korean market make diesel outboards particularly attractive to consumers and the SB30-OB with its 270hp and fuel consumption of 54.6l per hour is reportedly more efficient that equivalent gasoline engines.

“The diesel outboard market is expected to expand decisively compared to the existing gasoline outboard market in Korean waters,” explained Seung-Kab Jeong, Hyundai SeasAll’s chief executive. “As a result we expect the S30-OB to play a significant role as a cash cow in the company."

The engine comes equipped with ZF speed transmission, electronic control, a rope jam prevention function and optional built-in hydraulic pump which eliminates the need for an additional auxiliary engine.

The engines are available in the UK from Engines Plus.
