PHOTO COURTESY MACK BORINGMack Boring & Parts Co. has discontinued its representation of diesel outboard manufacturer OXE Marine. Mack Boring was an early investor in OXE, signing on as a distributor in 2015 and securing the first orders of diesel outboards for the Coast Guard in 2017.
“Mack Boring has been involved in selling diesel outboard engines from various manufacturers for over 35 years,” Patrick McGovern, president of Mack Boring & Parts, said in a statement. “We have learned a lot in these experiences, and the OXE product has shown advantages in fuel efficiency, fuel safety and reduced emissions versus traditional gasoline outboards.”
Mack Boring said OXE’s distribution strategy for North America is no longer a match for Mack Boring.
“We continue to believe in the potential for a reliable diesel outboard, and plan continued monitoring for opportunities in this space,” McGovern said.
