MBZ automobile engines do not have the correct style of injection pump for marine applications. In order to function on a boat (or in a stationary power application too), these IPs need a speed governor that works over the entire RPM range of the engine, not just at idle-1000 RPM like the IPs on the 616, 617, 603 et al...
Operating a boat with an ungoverned diesel engine would be a gold-plated PITA...you would have to constantly adjust the throttle whenever operating at any speed other than dead slow.
