Features & Innovations
Monsoon Engines
Thanks to a close partnership with GM Marine and following the strictest industry standards, Monsoon engines are produced in a state-of-the-art engine facility in Tennessee. 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.

This anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, mildew-resistant, and sulfide stain-resistant fabric technology keeps your vinyl a full 15-20 degrees cooler than traditional vinyl even when it’s out in the sun.
