Safer, cleaner and more efficient diesel outboards for professional operations.
Engineered for professional performance
From offshore energy and tourism to port operations and passenger ferries, Cox Marine diesel outboards are powering vital marine activity. Built for the harshest conditions and the highest standards, our outboards deliver the reliability, safety, and fuel economy commercial operators demand.
The Cox Marine V8 diesel outboard has been designed to offer a direct replacement for gasoline engines with none of the safety concerns or inefficiencies.
Whether you’re transferring crew to offshore oil rigs, running a ferry service in the Caribbean, or managing tourism along the US coasts, Cox Marine delivers the power and support you need.
The commercial advantage of diesel
Safety first
In oil and gas zones and other hazardous environments, gasoline outboards pose an ignition risk. Our compression-ignition diesel outboards eliminate this risk, making them the preferred choice for high-risk applications.
Longer operating range
With greater fuel efficiency than gasoline alternatives, Cox Marine outboards let you travel further and operate longer – ideal for tourism boats, spill response vessels, and long-haul fishing trips along extensive US waterways.
Low maintenance, high uptime
With extended service intervals and robust engineering, the V8 is designed to reduce downtime and lower total operating costs – a crucial factor for busy fleets operating from the Gulf to the Pacific Northwest.
