Haley Marine Gears, which has facilities in Greenville, Miss, and

Belle Chasse, La., has long been a staple of the workboat business in the Gulf area. The family owned and operated company is relatively small, working among many larg- er, corporate-owned entities. But it has carved a considerable niche, relying on its penchant for meeting its customers needs quickly with quality products.

Earlier this year the company celebrated its 25th anniversary. E.

Ray Haley started the business in 1973 to build gears and related components specifically for the marine market. Today, the compa- ny employs more than 75 people in those two locations, serving cus- tomers around the world.

The company now is built around three divisions: Haley marine Gears Inc., Haley Clutch &

Coupling Co., and Haley Marine

Gears International.

Haley Marine Gears Inc. is tasked with gear cutting, grinding and manufacuture. Haley Clutch & Coupling specializes in the man- ufacture of pneumatic and hydraulic clutches and torsional couplings. Haley Marine Gears

International, based at the Belle

Chasse facility, has a full capacity machine shop and technicians which provide services around the world.

While Ray Haley is indeed pleased to watch over the company extreme heat was effecting the performace of the engines them- selves, and the yard was tasked with lowering engine room tem- perature. Burton's came upon a new product, Temp-Set Covers, that was used in the insulation of manifolds and turbos. Using the pproducts, the engine room tem- perature was lowered 28 degrees F ambient, and subsequently engine efficiency was enhanced. The company quickly built its business with well-known operators such as

Tidwater and Zapata, and subse- quently become involved directly with many engine makers, such as

EMD, Detroit Diesel and

Caterpillar. The Temp-Set Cover comes in a "do-it-yourself' kit, to eliminate the need for using con- tractors and to speed installation time.
