Cox Marine’s 350 V8, a 350hp variant of its V8 diesel outboard architecture, has successfully achieved Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Tier III approval for commercial and recreational applications. The certification allows the British outboard and diesel pioneer to open its order book in anticipation of production commencing in August.

“Achieving EPA Tier III recognition is a major step forward that gives us the green light to start production and take orders for this highly anticipated engine,” says Gavin Wesson, CEO of Cox Marine. “The 350 V8 is a game-changer for the marine industry, offering unmatched fuel efficiency, power, safety, and optimal weight and efficiently powers high-displacement vessels across both recreational and commercial sectors.”

Cox Marine says the 350 V8 is built on the robust V8 architecture, and continues the legacy of the company’s 300hp twin turbo V8, launched in 2018.

“The V8 marked the dawn of a new era in outboard technology, offering a unique propulsion solution designed specifically for the marine industry,” says Adam Gurr, product portfolio director. “The 350 V8 showcases the potential of this platform with its advanced capabilities, setting a new standard for marine propulsion.”

Achieving EPA Tier III certification is the latest milestone for Cox Marine. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is tasked with safeguarding human health and the environment. Adhering to its evolving emissions standards, Cox Marine’s 350 V8 diesel outboard meets the stringent requirements necessary for this mandatory approval.

The 350 V8 order book is now open – more info on the company’s website – with production set to begin in August.

Earlier this year, Cox Marine appointed BTM Co to its distribution network as the sole distributor for Turkey, to distribute its V8 diesel outboard.
