Parsons engines and gearboxes have been a worldwide house name in the marine industry for over 90 years.

Parsons were the first marine engine specialists in the UK & although no longer manufactured, being Ford based (petrol or diesel) are still easy to maintain. More importantly parts can still be obtained in original or patterned form from Parsons Mathway Marine.

Parsons marine gearboxes are still in vast numbers around the world. Although no longer manufactured we still hold records of all gearboxes produced going back as far as 1909.

All Parsons gearboxes are of either hydraulic or manual operation & are capable of taking engine horsepower of up to 350+. Being of the epicycle motion gearbox there are a few wearing parts & with the precision & strength of build some boxes of over 20 years of age are still running perfectly & have still not needed repair.

Over the years that Parsons manufactured these robust gearboxes & engines some well known boat manufacturers and authorities have specified them in their design plans. British MOD, RNLI, PERKINS, ROLLS ROYCE, CUMMINS, FAIREY MARINE & FREEMAN BOATS are but just a few showing how their ruggedness and reliability proved to be of outstanding standards.

Whether the gearbox be of the A, B, C, D, F, G, H, HG4 or MG4 type, hydraulic or manual with reduction gears of 2.1, 3.1 or direct drive they can still be expertly repaired by Parsons Mathway Marine. We can also repair various other products that Parsons manufactured such as pumps, exhaust mixer boxes, manifolds and the very robust Mathway Marine gearbox which was supplied for use in conjunction with the Rolls Royce diesel engines and other large units.
