Sole Diesel SN-110
Technical details
Producer: Sole Diesel (ES)

The Spanish marine engines manufacturer " Sole Diesel " has in her offer the SN-110 engine behind whose mark hides already proved Nissan quality. SN-110 is a four-cycle diesel engine with 4 cylinders in the line, 103 Hp, 3153 ccm, weights of only 298 kg, indirect fresh water cooling, and low consumption of 18L/h by 3000 rpm. Small dimensions, quiet and still work make him exceptionally appropriate for the small semi-displacement vessels up to 8 m. 

Sole S.A. has made over 50,000 marine motors since it was established (founded in 1914 by Enrique Sole Jorba). This year is the fiftieth anniversary of the manufacture of the first of them. Sole Diesel was set up as a family company specialising in building carriages, and afterwards specialised in mechanics, and car repairs in particular. It moved away from this field after manufacturing the first motor for industrial use, a single cylinder 7 HP engine. Sole 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, Sole 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, Sole, 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. Sole, S.A. currently has over a hundred service points in Spain and more than 250 internationally. The Sole Diesel range of engines has evolved with the growth in its market - four ranges of marine engines with between 17 and 230 HP of power and one of single and triple phase marine power generating sets of up to 100 kW.
