Lancing, 11 June 2019 – 55 representatives from Cox Powertrain‘s global distributor network, comprising 36 distributors from all corners of the world, are today taking part in the British company’s first global distributor conference ahead of Seawork International.

Following the one-day conference, the delegates, who work for some of the world’s most prominent marine diesel distributors, will attend Europe’s largest commercial workboat show for sea trials of Cox’s high-powered diesel outboard, the CXO300. The distributor demos are a precursor to the first public demos, which will take place at the show on Wednesday and Thursday.

It’s a significant step for the Cox distributors as they witness the powerful on-water performance of single and twin install pre-production engines following ten years of development and months of final tests ahead of production, which starts in the autumn.

Alan Ow, Managing Director of one of Cox’s Asia based distributors, Sime Darby Industrial, said, “There is a big demand among commercial boat owners in our region to install diesel outboards due to the increased safety factors, higher performance and a longer equipment life span. We have waited a long time for a high-powered diesel that can deliver all of these things, so we are very excited to see how the CXO300 performs on the water.”

With Cox’s global distributor, dealer and service network finalised, the company can now focus on delivering a first-class after sales service to its customers, which, according to Joel Reid, Cox’s Global sales Director, is one of the three pillars upon which we they have built their business model.

“If our after sales service is not as good as our product, our offering will just crumble. Our customers will only be happy if they can use the engine to go out to sea reliably. We have put in place stringent customer service milestones throughout our service network to deliver a quicker service and smoother experience.”

Do you already know the Hidea outboards with integrated battery? If yes, you must love them: they are a revolutionary innovation, that will make you see in a different way your experience on boat. Let’s go and find out more about them and understand why they are so advantageous.

In the range of the Hidea outboards, that are traded in Italy by Cartello, there are some models with integrated battery: the HDF8-IB, HDF9.9-IB, HDF15-IB and HDF20-IB, respectively 4-stroke with 8, 9.9, 15 e 20 Hp. They are unique engines on market (specifically the outboards with 15 hp and 20 hp), since they are characterised by a kind of electrical starter with battery inserted under the hood, with no electrical cables on board.

You understand advantages are various. Among all:

Space. There is no encumbrance on board, no room lost because of cables, switch, etc., so that even small boats or inflatable rifts can afford the luxury of the electrical starter.

Maintenance. Since the battery is integrated in the hood, the engine doesn’t need ongoing maintenance because of the electrical connection. Many nuisances avoided, so.

Comfort. The engine housing integrates the battery without the need of installing an external one, in order to make installation much easier and comfortable, within everybody’s grasps.

User-friendliness. The engine can be started with minimun effort. Forget the fatigue requested by manual starters. Stop to back pain and efforts with your arms. You can relax.

But it’s not all. The thing that these engines are equipped with a battery with lithium ions has important advantages, making the Hidea outboards with integrated battery a unique product.

First of all, the lthium ions battery is ultralight and compact. This allows the outboard to be really light and easily transportable. It is, then, a kind of much safer and quick to recharge battery. Thanks to the lithium ions, the battery of Hidea outboards has an almost missing self-discharge, resisting really well to the winter stop, it is not subject to the memory effect and has a really long duration. You don’t need to worry if winters are particularly freezing or summers too scorching: the battery works well also at extreme temperatures. Last but not least, they are green batteries, with really few pollutants and very easy to dispose of.

Do you already have an engine and want to turn it into one with the integrated battery? No problem! Cartello offers a kit for the aforementioned outboards, in order to take advantage of the charactersitics we mentioned.

Cartello Srl recently completed the trade of one of the engines representing a real pride for the company: the Yanmar engine 12AY-WST.

Why is it so important to dedicate a news to it? Because it is a real jewel. Let’s go and explore its characteristics.

First of all, the engine has an elevated torque, allowing it to compete with engines with up to 50 ltr of displacement, although it is just 40 ltr. Since it is a Heavy Duty, the engine permits up to a maximum of 6000 hours of use, 10/12 hours per day of work at maximum performance, with 80% of the work at maximum performance out of the entirety of the work hours. Moreover, this kind of engine assures as well15.000 hours of motion before proceeding with maintenance works and 30.000 hours before needing a complete inspection.

All this gives particular advantages for those having a Yanmar 12AY-WST:

• Accountability and longevity of the engine
• Reduced and programmable boat downtimes
• Powerful and long-lasting performance
• Ease of maintenance, thanks to independent cylinder heads and side doors to inspect the engine
• Low fuel consumption.

Our engine will be used to equip a 26m fishing boat, operating in the area of Anzio (RM), equipped until today with another engine of ours. The old engine finally “retires”, after 15 years, although still perfectly functioning.
