Sabb Motor is a Norwegian maker of small marine diesel engines, mostly single-cylinder or twin-cylinder units. The firm was established as Damsgaard Motorfabrikk by two brothers, Alf and Håkon Søyland in 1925. The firm started building engines to meet the demand of fishermen who wanted simple, robust and reliable power for their boats. (The word ‘Sabb’ means toughness and reliability).

The brothers’ cottage industry began by creating a 3HP hot-bulb engine. This was followed by a larger 7HP version which tended to suffer broken crankshafts, but the firm was able to solve the problem and re-launch their engines under the name Ny-Sabb (New Sabb). By 1975, Sabb Motor was producing 3,200 engines a year between 8 and 30 bhp. Facing market competition, the firm concentrated on providing 30bhp engines for ship’s lifeboats, a decision which increased worldwide demand. The UK’s distributor of Sabb engines is Sleeman & Hawken Ltd. More recently, Sabb has established a link with Mitsubishi.

In 2006 Sabb Motor AS was bought by Frydenbø Industri and renamed Frydenbø Sabb Motor AS.

Sabb engines are rugged and simple; for example, some have “splash lubrication” which requires no oil pump nor filter. (Splash lubrication is an antique system whereby “spades” on the big-end caps dip into the oil sump and splash the lubricant upwards; clearly it is a system that can work only on very low-revving engines, otherwise the sump oil would become a frothy mousse).

Sabb marine engines include Types H, G, GA, 2H, 2G, & 2J.

Sabb’s latest offerings include marinisations of Lister-Petter and Kubota base engines.

How to identify your Sabb Engine and Gearbox

When ordering your spares, it’s always important to correctly identify your engine and gearbox. The information below will guide you through the process of identifying your Sabb engine and the gearbox that is commonly used.

If possible, always quote engine Model, Year, and Number when ordering spares. These details are stamped on a plaque on the aft face of the raised hand start pillar, or on later engines on the rocker cover. Early plates had the year and number together, so for example No. 69312 is the 312th engine of that type made in 1969. Since 1982 the date is coded, and appears as two letters, like NU or AB. (The codeword is CUMBERLAND = 1234567890. NU = 1992, AB = 1984!) Quoting horsepower is confusing, as engines have been updated over the years. 18HP could mean a Model 2H or an old Model 2G. If the plate is missing or unreadable, the following should help.

Type Bore x Stroke HP @ RPM Description
H 90 x 90 6 @ 1800

8 @ 2000

 Single cylinder. Rocker covers 1″ lower than the top of the hand-start pillar. Oil filter mounted on one cylinder head stud. Most pre-1977 have two ‘V’ belt grooves around the flywheel for optional dynastart.
G 90 x 120 10 @ 1800 Single cylinder. Rocker covers 2″ higher than a hand-start pillar. Splash lubricated, so no oil filter. Starter gear ring on the flywheel, except on very early engines.
GA 95 x 120

100 x 120

 12 @ 1800

14 @ 2000

 Air-cooled single cylinder, principally made for ship’s lifeboats. Encased flywheel/fan. Alloy cylinder head.
2H 90 x 90 18 @ 2200 Lightweight (for Sabb) twin. Ribbed oblong rocker covers concealing injectors. Two single-element injection pumps on the starboard side.
2G 90 x 100 22 @ 1800 Heavy twin cylinder. One square-ish rocker covers concealing injectors. Two single-element injection pumps on the starboard side.
2J 100 x 120 30 @ 1900 Similar to 2G. Separate rocker covers for each

These engines are fitted with a variety of gearboxes, or variable pitch propeller actuators, detailed below. The engine Model specifies both engine type, and gearbox. All have 2 to 1 reductions unless stated otherwise.

Model Gearbox Details
H, G, GA, 2H Actuator for variable pitch propeller, with a separate clutch. When engaged, the propeller turns left-handed always, and ahead/neutral/astern is selected by varying the blade pitch. 90-degree tramlever control.
HSP, GSP, 2HSP Fully feathering version. Blades can rotate beyond the astern setting to lie almost fore-and-aft for minimum drag when sailing. Some types incorporate clutch and pitch control on single tramlever, and propeller locks with blades

Engines made entirely by Sabb Motors AS

SERIES G.
Following a series of semi-diesels, this was the first true diesel, produced from 1955 to 2002 with a run of some 24,500 engines. Splash lubricated with huge roller big-end bearing running on crankpin and taper roller mains. Two lead-filled balance weights in the cover behind the flywheel reduce primary out-of-balance forces. Pinion on crankshaft runs in female gear with twice the number of teeth, so the entire rear bit runs at half engine speed. In effect, it drives off the camshaft. The massive flywheel at the front just fits on taper, with one large retaining nut. No lubrication to the top end apart from that provided by the oil can.

SERIES H
Developed from the G, introduced to provide a lower engine more suitable for yachts. Shorter stroke, and with small vane-type oil pump driven off single balance weight in the crankcase. Shell mains and big end were solid thick shell type early, then changed to a thin wall. A lighter flywheel is bolted onto the front of the crankshaft with four bolts. Usually fitted with a Bosch dynastart & twin V belts running in grooves machined on the outside of the flywheel. When dynastart became unobtainable, a big re-design to allow starter motor and alternator set-up, but 3 years later (1980) production stopped.

SERIES GA
The air-cooled version of the G was introduced primarily for use in ships’ lifeboats (this started Sabb’s knowledge of this market-leading them to virtually write off the leisure boat market after the arrival of Yanmar, and concentrate on lifeboats). Crank as G, but the finned barrel, alloy direct injection head (others indirect), flywheel incorporating fan, and optional mega bilge pump! Originally rated at 12HP, more power was needed to pass some regulation, so in 1978 bore increased and different pumps and injectors raised this to 14HP. Cancelled contracts in the 70s led to several being sold off cheap to private owners.

SERIES 2H
In terms of capacity, 2 cylinders the size of the H. Rated at 18HP, of one up, one down design, unlike the Bukh similar-looking engine. The oddity in the range is Sabb’s attempt at a lightweight engine. Unfortunately, the designer died during the development, leading to many modifications and alterations during the production run. Fitted as a standard unit in many yachts, and due to identical mounting dimensions, replaced single cylinder engines in several boats.

SERIES 2G
Twin version of the G in size. Huge heavy and slow, a bit like an old Lister. Tunnel boring crankcase houses 3 bearing crank, flywheel on front taper as the G. Main and big ends all thick solid bearings, lubricated by gear oil pump. Indirect injection, one pump per cylinder. A vast range of gearboxes and variable pitch boxes fitted, with 2 to 1, 1½ to 1 and direct drive options.

SERIES 2J
A 3-cylinder version, to be called the 3G was never completed, and instead, to get more power for the lifeboat scene, the 2G was over bored, fitted with direct injection, and became the 2J. They look identical, except the 2G has one rocker cover over both pots, and the 2J has one on each. These engines were fitted to many lifeboats until the marinized engines took over. Production stopped in 1983.

Mitsubishi-Sabb Engines

M4.130, M4.140, M4.210
M = Mitsubishi based 4 = 4 cylinder 130 = 1.3 litre
The 130 was quickly superseded by the 140, over bored by 2mm. There are very few of these engines in the UK.

M4.295GR, M4.295GR-LB
GR = Hurth Gearbox LB = Lifeboat specification
The base engines used in the Mitsubishi range are M4.210 – 4DQ50, M4.130 – K4D, M4.140 – K4E, and M4.295 – S4E2. Production ran from 1982 to 1997, when Mitsubishi suddenly ceased making the S4E2, (without informing S.M. of their intentions!) Spares orders for the M4.295GR-LB engines are now quite frequent, mostly for electrical components such as relays, stop solenoids, starters, alternators, and water jacket heaters, and occasionally hoses, water pumps etc.

Ford-Sabb Engines

Based on Ford industrial engines, these were not sold in the UK as many UK versions of the Ford engines were available. Requests for parts do occur sometimes from commercial customers. Base engines were from the 2700 and 2720 range. F4.144 54HP, F4.254 68HP, F4.415 85HP, F6.216 80HP, F6.363T 130HP, F6.363TI 150HP, F6.595T 155HP, F6.595TI, and F6622 127HP. T = turbo. I = intercooler.

Iveco-Sabb Engines

When Ford Industrial products packed up, these engines took their place. Iveco engines are a more recent addition to the Sabb range and spares are readily available. Type 8041M08-LB. and 8061M12-LB.

Lister-Sabb Engines

L2.093LB – 18HP. L3.139LB – 27HP. L4.186LB – 36HP.
Made for the lifeboat market, based on the Lister Alpha LPW2/3/4. Increasing demand for running spares, filters, drive belts etc., plus on-board spares kits as required by some regulations. New Lister range 4 X90 and 3 X90.

Model Gearbox Details
HG, GG, GAG, 2HG Ahead/Neutral/Astern cone-type gearbox. Large gear lever port side. Domed lid with SABB embossed. Two versions were made from 1965 to 1971:- Two identical-looking brass plugs on top, just aft of the lid. One is the oil filter, other indent spring retainer. 1971 onwards: – Reinforced version, distinguishable by indent spring in separate 3″ high housing. Many internal differences.
HEG, GEG Hurth gears inside Sabb cast iron box. The small lever operates gears by morse cables.
2HEG The shaft goes opposite direction to the engine ahead, hence the right-hand propeller. Introduced in 1977.
2G, 2J Heavy duty variable pitch actuator. Two high tramlevers, one operating clutch, the other pitch, with 3 ½ turns from ahead to astern.
2GZ, 2JZ As above, but 90-degree pitch lever movement.
2GY, 2JY 1½ to 1 reduction. Light V.P. Box, like a smaller engine.
2GG, 2JG Direct drive. A cone gearbox is like a smaller engine.
2GYG, 2JYG As above, but 1½ to 1 reduction.
2GRG, 2JRG As above but 2 to 1 reduction.
2GGR, 2JGR Heavy duty epicyclic gearbox. 2 to 1 final reduction box on aft end.
2GHR, 2JHR Hurth gearbox. Various types fitted. (Superseded H.D. box above)

Anchors Aweigh Academy and its EverythingAboutBoats.org website.

  • Published over 300 website main topic webpages, many with full articles on the topic. See our Website Contents or the Right Sidebar for the listing of the main topic pages.
  • Published over 9,000 marine vendor webpages, all with their contact information, most with a description of their products and services, many with product documentation, specifications and independent reviews. (incl.: Boat designers, boat building tools, material and equipment manufacturers and suppliers, boat builders and dealers, yacht brokers, marine surveyors, boat insurers, boat transporters, skippers and crews, boatyards and marinas, yacht clubs, boat rentals and yacht charters, boating, seamanship and maritime schools, marine law attorneys and expert witnesses, boat refitters and repairers, book authors, magazine publishers, video producers, and website creators)
  • Acquired over 120,000 pages of product documentation including Catalogs, Brochures, SpecSheets, Pictures, Serial Number Guides, Installation Manuals, OpManuals, Parts Catalogs, Parts Bulletins, Shop Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins, and Recalls. And have made all viewable to Academy Members through our EAB website eLibrary.

General Comments About the Website

FROM Donald: "This is an awesome website. I found the information that I needed right away from one of the over 20,000 free articles that you provide as a public service. I'm surprised that so much if this site is free. But I still signed up so I could access the thousands of expanded pages, interesting articles, and dozens of valuable programs! The member's library of books, magazines and videos that I can view online is really terrific! I understand that you and your staff are all unpaid volunteers. Please keep up the good work. And I commend you for your plans to add another 10,000 free informative articles over the next year. I'm thrilled to support you in this endeavor with my small membership donation. Thanks again for all your hard work."

FROM Huey: "I agree with my Uncle, I too have found the articles to be very enlightening. They say that it will take about 100,000 articles to cover the full scope that they have envisioned for the website. They have over 20,000 articles so far and that's doing pretty well, but it could take several years to get the rest. I also noticed that many of the Main Topic Pages and some of the article pages are still in the rough draft stage. I guess that they will fill in as they can get volunteers to work on them. But what I can't figure out is why anyone would spend the time writing informative in depth articles just to give away free to this website for publication? What's in it for them?"

FROM Dewey: "Well Huey, to me It looks like most of the articles on this website are written by very informed people, like boating instructors, boat designers, boat builders, riggers, electricians, fitters, marine repair technicians and marine surveyors. Writing such articles helps establish them as knowledgeable professionals. After all, this website was originally created by a school for marine technicians and marine surveyors. The website is growing in content every day. They even had to move to a bigger, more powerful server because the website's traffic has been growing exponentially."

FROM Louie: "I agree with everyone above. This site is quickly becoming the ultimate reference resource about every aspect of boats and ships for everyone from the beginning recreational boater to the seasoned professional mariner. I use the topic pages on the right sidebar to browse around the website. It's like a Junior Woodchucks' Guidebook for Boaters. Their Members' Library of over 300 popular and obscure books and over 200 magazine back issues that can be viewed online is fabulous. The Academy's magazine is especially informative. On top of that, there is the "Ask-An-Expert program for members where you can get an expert's answer to any of your boat questions. And a whole years membership is only $25. What a deal! I really love being part of this "Everything About Boats" community and help provide thousands of helpful articles free to the public. I think that I'll sit down right now and write an article about my experiences boating with my uncle."

FROM Scrooge: "You rave about this website like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Well, I think it stinks. Sure, it has a lot of good information for boaters, and they're adding more every day, but it will probably never be finished. Furthermore, I don't even own a boat. And I wouldn't have a boat even if someone gave me one. Boats are a waste of money and time and energy and money! They're just a hole in the water you pour money into. If you gave me a boat, I'd sell it quicker then you could say Baggywrinkle. Then I'd lock up the cash with all my other money so I could keep my eye on it and count it every day. Bah humbug."

FROM Daisy: "I'm just so glad that Donald got the boat so we and the boys could enjoy boating — together. And of course all of the girls, April, May, and June, love to be on the water too, especially when that is where the boys are. Oh poor Scrooge, boating is more fun then you could possibly imagine."

FROM Scrooge: "After seeing how much fun you all have on the water together, I regret that I didn't have that much fun when I was young. I've had a change of heart, and I'm giving each of you a Lifetime Academy Membership."

FROM Editor: "For those of you that have stayed with us this far, many thanks, and we hope that you found this little narrative informative. Your faithful support inspires us to keep working on this phenomenal website. We know that we have a lot more to do. Ultimately, we hope that we can help you enjoy the wonder filled world of boating as much as we do. We are all waiting to see what you have to say about this webpage article.
