Marine Transmission Specifications & Applications of the Twin Disc MG5111A

Overview of the Twin Disc MG5111A Marine Transmission

The Twin Disc MG5111A is a heavy-duty marine transmission engineered for medium to high-horsepower propulsion systems in commercial and industrial marine environments. As an evolution of the proven MG5111, the MG5111A features an 8° down-angle output configuration that simplifies shaft alignment in vessels with restricted engine room clearance. This makes it particularly popular in patrol boats, crew boats, ferries, and offshore supply vessels where space efficiency and torque performance are essential.

Built with a cast-iron case, oil-cooled hydraulic multi-disc clutch, and multiple reduction ratios, the MG5111A is designed to deliver long-lasting performance under continuous-duty cycles. Its compatibility with SAE No. 1 and No. 2 housings ensures integration with many mid- to high-horsepower diesel engines in the 400–575 HP range.

Common Marine Applications for the MG5111A

The MG5111A is optimized for vessels that need high torque, compact packaging, and smooth propulsion in continuous- or high-intermittent-duty environments. Typical use cases include:

  • Crew and Supply Boats: Ideal for offshore service fleets where quick shift response and minimal maintenance are critical.

  • Passenger Ferries and Tour Vessels: Smooth, quiet operation for high-cycle vessels that require low-vibration engagement.

  • Patrol and Pilot Boats: High reliability and fast maneuverability in demanding public sector and private operations.

  • Fishing Boats (Mid-Sized): Suited for trawlers and gillnetters operating in coastal or near-offshore zones.

  • Utility Vessels and Workboats: Used in a variety of roles including line handling, crew transfer, and harbor support.


Most Common Engine Models Paired with the Twin Disc MG5111A

The MG5111A is typically mated with diesel engines in the 400–575 horsepower range. Its down-angle configuration, compact footprint, and SAE No. 1 or 2 compatibility allow it to integrate with many modern marine engines:

Cummins Marine Engines

  • Cummins QSM11

  • Cummins ISC 8.3
    These Cummins platforms offer robust mid-range horsepower and are commonly found in patrol boats and service vessels paired with MG5111A gearboxes.

Caterpillar Marine Engines

  • Caterpillar 3126 / C7 (high ratings)

  • Caterpillar C9
    Well-suited for ferry and utility applications where reliable down-angle integration is required in tight engine rooms.

John Deere Marine Engines

  • John Deere 6090SFM85

  • John Deere 6135SFM85
    Used in high-torque, mid-speed workboats and pilot craft, these engines pair efficiently with the MG5111A in continuous operation roles.

Detroit Diesel Marine Engines

  • Detroit Diesel 6V92

  • Detroit Diesel 8V92 (light-duty ratings)
    Common in refits and legacy platforms, these two-stroke engines remain relevant in older fleets supported by MG5111A down-angle retrofits.


Advantages of the Twin Disc MG5111A

  • 8° Down-Angle Output: Simplifies engine installation and shaft alignment in compact hulls or shallow bilges.

  • Smooth Hydraulic Clutch: Multi-disc oil-cooled clutch provides consistent, vibration-free engagement.

  • Wide Ratio Options: Available gear reductions allow for vessel-specific thrust optimization.
