Hi
At first of all I hope you will find my english understandable. I'm
planning to let my now wooden carvel planked boat being built in
india. I started now thinking about using then one of their marine
diesels. For example the in india under licence manufactured perkins
p6.354 marine diesel. Does anybody has experience with these engines?
There are also other manufactures of marine engines in india like ALM
and Kirloskar. And this engines are so cheap compared with in europe
or the USA manufactured engines. For example the 6 cylinder Perkins
6.354 marine engine including a gearbox and dashboard is cheaper then
a 3 cyl. china diesel!!!

Personally, I have a hard time trusting India to do anything with precision.
Look around you at the houses, boxes, manufactured goods ... all is done
kind of sloppily, right? I imagine that a big name like Perkins, a fine and
respectable company, probably has more control over the manufacturing than
what a local company might do ... and India DOES have some of the brightest
people in the world there. So, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably take a
risk on a name brand like Perkins and buy the best that you can afford. I'd
stay away from the other companies. This is of course ALL opinion, but I've
been there and seen the place ... including things like name brand high rise
hotels getting built with buckets of concrete ... each bucket pouring
concrete a different shade of brown. Makes you wonder about quality control
when you see stuff like that going on in a 3rd world country. It explains
the earthquake casualties too, eh?
