The award-winning Cox Marine diesel outboard engine is the first and one of the only diesel outboard engines built for marine purposes.

This means that the Cox Marine diesel outboard is specifically designed and optimized for use in the marine industry. In other words, this engine is tailored to meet the unique requirements and challenges of powering boats and watercraft.

Some key points:

  • Vertical Crankshaft Design: The use of a vertical crankshaft is a notable feature. This design choice can contribute to better fuel efficiency and performance in a marine setting. It might also have advantages in engine balance and weight distribution.
  • Fuel Efficiency: The Cox diesel outboard engine offers 30 percent better fuel efficiency compared to a 300-hp gasoline outboard. This is a significant improvement in fuel consumption, which can translate into cost savings and reduced environmental impact.
  • Extended Service Life: Another important aspect is the longer service life which is three times greater than the average outboard. This can be a substantial benefit for boat owners, as it reduces the frequency of maintenance, repairs, and engine replacement, further contributing to cost savings.
  • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Savings: The combination of better fuel efficiency and an extended service life leads to exceptional total cost of ownership savings. TCO includes not only the initial purchase price but also operating costs over the life span of the engine. By reducing fuel consumption and maintenance needs, Cox Marine’s diesel outboard engine aims to provide boat owners with a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

The vision of the Cox Marine diesel outboard began in 1966, when Charles Good was 20 years old aboard his mom’s wooden sailboard, anchored off Greece’s Ionian Island. He was decanting gasoline into a small container when he spilled fuel on the deck of the boat and the gasoline erupted into flames after it contacted a nearby gas-powered refrigerator. This left Good with the lasting impression that there must be a way to develop an outboard engine using diesel fuel.

Fast-forward to 2008, when a project that David Cox was working on hit Good’s desk. Good took the plans to the engineering firm of Ricardo PLC, which liked many of the features. Their intrigue was enough to commit Good and his investor group to financially back the development of Cox’s lightweight diesel into the powerhead of an outboard engine.

In 2010, Cox Marine started to deliver a revolutionary new concept, a lightweight outboard that would be the first stop on the journey to power the future of the global marine industry through sustainable innovation. Since then, with the help of private investment, Cox Marine has brought a dream to reality with the delivery of the CXO300 in early 2022.

Also in 2022, Cox partnered with Ring Power Corporation.

The partnership marks a significant development for Cox Marine’s distribution network and market expansion efforts. Ring Power Corporation, headquartered in St. Augustine, Florida, has been designated as the distributor for Cox Marine’s diesel outboard engines. The current sales territory is from Florida to Maine and includes the Bahamas. Ring Power comprises eight divisions and has more than 60 years of experience servicing and supporting Cat® products and allied equipment.
