Malibu Monsoon Engines

Award-Winning Performance, Unmatched Reliability

The new Malibu Monsoon line of engines, the M5Di, M6Di, and the LT4, were developed by Malibu to offer unmatched performance, fuel economy, reliability and sound reduction.


Malibu was able to accomplish this feat by bringing engine production in-house. The engine experts at Malibu worked with industry leaders like GM® Marine, Roush®, Davinci®, and McLaren Engineering® to design and perform the research and development necessary to introduce a line of in-board engines to the towboat industry like no other.


The new M5Di, M6Di, and LT4 direct injection engines are only available in a Malibu. Contact your local dealer to experience the next generation of power today.

Maximizing Power and Efficiency

Next Generation Engines

Simply Innovative

The Malibu Monsoon engines were uniquely designed with essential engine components moved toward the front to make maintenance more accessible, offer a quieter ride, and improve durability.

Direct Injection

Technology is the key behind our new ultra-clean engines. It all starts with direct injection, which bypasses the air intake manifold and injects fuel directly into the combustion chamber, making for a cleaner, more controlled and complete burn resulting in improved fuel economy.

Going Green

The M5Di and M6Di engines have Ultra Low emissions which Malibu knew would be critical in the world’s best-selling towboats.

Powered by Official World Games Towboat

Thanks to a close partnership with GM Marine and following the strictest industry standards, the Malibu Monsoon engines are produced in Malibu’s new state-of-the-art engine facility located adjacent to the boat production facility in Tennessee where every boat and engine are water tested.

Why FeAD®

The custom cast, patent-pending front-end accessory drive (FeAD) features a fully integrated cooling system where engine oil and transmission fluid temperatures are controlled in a single integrated system that uses an environmentally friendly coolant instead of raw water.

Performance at its Core

Award-Winning Design

Malibu engineers and partners spent thousands of hours designing, 3D-printing and testing over 200 custom parts to make what will set the new standard for inboard engines. The engines themselves along with key components like the custom manifolds, have already been lauded with awards.
Award-Winning Design

Exceptional Quality

Backed by the World’s largest towboat manufacturer, the Malibu Monsoon engines quality began during the marinization process and continued through the manufacturing process. Utilizing the state-of-the-art methods like smart tools, these engines are tested not only on dynos, but have benefitted from thousands of hours of in-boat testing.
Exceptional Quality

Powerful & Efficient

The Malibu Monsoon line of engines were designed to deliver peak torque earlier for water sports, around 3,000 RPMs, for optimal performance & fuel economy. Longevity is also ensured from this powerband since the engine doesn’t have to run at higher RPMs.
