Buying a used marine diesel engine can be a great option if you’re looking for a reliable, durable and more economical solution for your boat.
In this guide, we explain everything you should consider before making your decision: from what to check in a used engine to why Cummins and Solé Diesel marine engines are some of the most sought-after options on the market.
Why choose used marine diesel engines?
Used marine diesel engines are a smart alternative for many sailors and marine professionals. The main reasons are:
- Economic savings compared to a new motor.
- Immediate availability, without long waiting times due to stock out of stock, manufacturing times or shipping times.
- Many have been overhauled and reconditioned by specialized workshops and are in perfect condition.
- Ideal for recreational or professional boats with a tighter budget.
If you are looking for used boat motors, it is essential to know the most reliable brands and the key points that will help you make a good purchase.
What to consider when buying a used marine engine
- General engine overhaul: Make sure that the engine has been professionally overhauled. Check the compressor, injection pump, turbo, cooling system and general condition of the block.
- Maintenance history: Ask if the engine has a maintenance book or service history. An engine that has been well cared for will have a longer service life.
- Hours of operation: Hours of use are not everything, but they do indicate general wear and tear. Some engines are designed for thousands of trouble-free hours if they have been properly maintained.
- Spare parts and availability: It is critical to make sure that spare parts are readily available.
