The Facts
Experience
- 60 OEMs with 100 boat models in production.
- Over 2000 years of combined boatbuilder experience.
- Full range of models from 30'-80'.
- Unparalleled acceptance by world boating press and early-adapter customers.
Innovation
- Thorough testing and evaluation of all alternative pod possibilities starting in 1988.
- No patent restrictions allowed optimized design – best solution vs. suboptimal solution.
- 20 technical patents on design approach.
Prop location
- Well-proven – same as conventional inboard.
- Eliminates need for cavitation plate.
Pulling propellers
- Forward-facing prop operates in undisturbed water – greater efficiency, better tracking.
- Greater prop blade surface area vs. the competition's design compromised by through-prop exhaust.
- Pulling technology delivers at least 20% efficiency vs. untested 15% claim for the competition.
