With a robust engine block designed for continuous-duty operation and long life, and a single cylinder head with four valves per cylinder, the

Cummins X15 marine engine provides reduced fuel consumption without reduced performance. The X15, which can be used in both commercial and recreational marine applications, is available as a propulsion engine and as an auxiliary engine.
