Cox Powertrain CXO300 engine: 300 hp at the propeller

During this year’s show, the Cox team and its Florida distributor gave visitors the opportunity to experience the true power and durability of the CXO300 diesel outboard engine.

As a high-performance diesel outboard engine, delivering 300 hp at the propeller, the twin turbo EPA Tier III approved CXO300 has been designed specifically for marine applications and is based on the proven technology of a 4-stroke, V8 architecture.
