Marine Products Overview Brochure

We’ve earned our reputation
For almost a century Twin Disc has been making
all kinds of boats perform better.
through history
Starting with hard-working marine transmissions for
Great Lakes fishing boats in the ‘30s, the company then
received the Navy’s contract for marine transmissions
on more than 20,000 Higgins landing craft in WWII.
The reputation for rugged reliability expanded Twin
Disc’s marine transmission applications to coastal fishing, shrimping, and
transportation vessels all over North America, including the Gulf Coast, New
England, the Canadian Maritimes, the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Renowned
performance in such demanding operating conditions cemented the company’s
status as the premier marine transmission manufacturer.
The company continued to increase its transmission line throughout the 1950s
to include more types of commercial vessels as well as pleasure craft in North
America and Europe.
In the following decades Twin Disc complemented this critical link between
engine and propeller to include electronic controls, high-speed surface drives,
the revolutionary QuickShift ® transmission, propellers, joystick controls, various
boat handling components and, most recently, a position holding system — all
for application on shaft-line diesel-powered work boats and pleasure craft.
When you specify Twin Disc marine components, you’ve got history on your side.
