1.3 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
Your CXO300 diesel outboard offers significantly improved fuel consumption over equivalent
gasoline outboards operating under the same duty cycle. However, there are some steps which you,
as the operator, should take to ensure your vessel runs optimally and your effect on the environment
is minimized.
Consider boating at cruise rather than maximum power
Your vessel consumes an increasing amount of fuel for each additional knot of speed; reducing
from maximum power to cruise results in significant reductions in fuel consumption and will increase
your overall nautical mile range.
Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in order to maintain efficiency
Your CXO300 maintenance schedule is designed to keep the powerhead operating efficiently
throughout its lifetime, giving you the best fuel consumption at any speed. Be sure to monitor the
outboard operating hours against the maintenance chart (see section 6.1) and contact your local
authorized Cox Powertrain dealer for servicing as necessary.
Ensure propeller and trim settings are matched to the vessel type and loading
Incorrectly set trim angle or an incorrectly matched propeller can lead to significant increases in fuel
consumption and could damage your outboard. Consult an authorized Cox Powertrain dealer if
you are unsure about managing trim through different boating conditions or choosing the best
propeller for your application.
Keep the vessel hull clear of biomass to reduce drag and fuel consumption
Biological fouling below the waterline of your hull will impact your vessel’s performance while
increasing load and fuel consumption of your outboard(s).
Inspect for fouling regularly, clean if necessary and consider applying anti-fouling paints to
keep your hull smooth and your vessel efficient. Consult your boat builder or an authorized Cox
Powertrain dealer for paint recommendations.
