MARINE engines are designed to fit into boats and ships for propulsion units. They often drive a crank shaft, or in the case of turbine are connected to a reduction gear, which is coupled to the propeller shaft. Marine engines (piston) are often mounted vertically rather than horizontal to save space. Marine turbines are often smaller for the same horsepower output, and operate at higher speeds than power plant turbines to produce that horsepower.
