Ring Power, the North American distributor for Cox Marine diesel outboards, has partnered with Zodiac Milpro, which builds rigid-hull inflatable boats and inflatables for military and commercial markets. The partnership will enhance the presence of Cox Marine’s diesel outboards in the North American market.

“We are thrilled to partner with Zodiac Milpro,” Pat Bucci, vice president, Cox Marine division of Ring Power, said in a statement. “This collaboration brings together two industry leaders to deliver the technological advantages of Cox Marine engines and highlight the strategic benefits of the partnership with Zodiac Milpro, catering to a diverse range of applications.”

Many navies around the world have stopped using engines that require them to carry multiple types of fuel at sea. Utilizing diesel outboards eliminates the need to supply gasoline for small boats such as RIBs.
