MALIBU MONSOON ENGINES

DESIGNED, BUILT AND BACKED BY MALIBU

Further enhanced for 2026 - the 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.

MALIBU Monsoon M5Di

TORQUE - 400 FT-LBS @ 3800 rpm
POWER - 370 HP @ 5600 rpm

Whether you’re going for another buoy or generating surf swells, Malibu’s new M5Di has the power to get you there with more efficiency than ever before.

MALIBU Monsoon M6Di

TORQUE - 460 FT-LBS @ 3800 rpm
POWER - 430 HP @ 5600 rpm
The first step up in the powertrain options, the M6Di achieves a low sound level at various RPMs, while adding extra power and torque.

LET’S Talk Torque

It’s not how fast you can pull a rider or skier (that’s horse power), it’s about getting the rider out of the hole quickly and consistently with a boat full of ballast and friends – and that’s all about torque curve. This has been the driving factor behind the Malibu Monsoon direct injection engines. M5Di, M6Di & LT4 are tailor made by Malibu for water sports – meaning maximum power is delivered early in the torque curve to give you a boat that never bogs down. The Monsoon’s custom tailored gear ratios act as torque multipliers to deliver even more power when you need it.
