Performance and Efficiency
Greaves Engineering’s Marine Engines are engineered with innovation and practicality in mind, ensuring top-tier performance while minimising operational costs.
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel efficiency is at the core of every one of our engines. Whether it’s outboard motors or inboard engines, every drop of fuel is maximised for longer journeys and reduced expenses. This is particularly crucial for fishermen and commercial operators who rely on cost-effective, long-lasting engines.
Low Maintenance Costs
Our engines are designed to keep maintenance downtime minimal. Features like extended service intervals (first service required after 500 hours of operation) and easy access to genuine spare parts ensure that your engine stays in peak condition with minimal effort.
Durability
Built to withstand the harshest conditions, Greaves Engineering’s engines are reliable across diverse environments, from shallow inland waters to challenging seas. The heavy casting and compact designs provide stability and longevity, ensuring uninterrupted operations.
Real-World Applications
The versatility of Greaves Engineering’s Marine Engines makes them indispensable across a variety of applications.
Fishing
For fishermen, efficiency and reliability are paramount. Our long tail outboard motors navigate strong and high tide with ease, allowing fishermen to reach remote fishing spots. High fuel efficiency ensures more time on the water and less on refuelling. These engines empower fishermen to go farther and haul bigger catches, enhancing their livelihoods and reducing operational costs.
Recreational/Faster Cruising
Recreational boaters value comfort and performance. Our short tail outboard motors deliver exceptional speed and control, ensuring smooth and enjoyable cruising experiences. Their compact and lightweight design makes them ideal for personal watercraft. These outboard motors deliver high torque and precise navigation for a thrilling boating experience.
Commercial Applications
For large-scale operations like ferry services, Greaves Engineering’s inboard engines provide the power and stability needed to ensure reliable and safe transportation. These engines are trusted in major projects like the Assam Inland Water Transport Development Society, which supports ferries across the Brahmaputra River. Our inboard engines combine power and fuel efficiency to propel commercial vessels toward greater profitability.
