Supporting first responders when every second counts

Why Cox Marine diesel outboards are ideal for first responders
The safer choice
Safe operation in every situation
Cox Marine diesel outboards use compression ignition rather than spark ignition, dramatically reducing the risk of explosion. For enforcement and fire vessels operating near volatile materials or in dangerous conditions, this makes our engines the safer choice.
Superior fuel efficiency
Extended range and endurance
Responders can’t afford to return to port mid-mission. With better fuel efficiency than petrol engines, Cox Marine outboards enable longer patrols, extended rescue operations and rapid deployment across wide maritime areas.
Fewer delays
Low maintenance, rapid response
With extended service intervals and fewer breakdowns, the V8 stays mission-ready. That means fewer delays, more active service days, and greater confidence for responders on the water.
