ZF Pod Drive Powered By Yanmar

BEST EVER HIGH SPEED HANDLING

PLUS AMAZING MANOEUVRABILITY

If you own or are about to purchase a boat

powered by dual Yanmar diesel engines up to

450mhp, you have an all-new drive system option.

The ZF Pod Drive System powered by Yanmar

has been developed to provide you with finger

tip control over high speed handling of your boat.

Just as importantly, it will allow you to manoeuvre

and dock with unequalled ease and precision.

As a bonus, you can take advantage of significant

improvements in top-end performance, cruising

speed and fuel economy. Overall efficiency gain

can be as much as 25%, facilitating the use of

lower power engines for the same boat speed.

SUPERBLY RESPONSIVE

In a twin installation, each Pod Drive moves

and can be steered independently. This results

in excellent turning efficiency and superb

responsiveness. Reliable, smooth, electric power

No matter where you buy your

Yanmar-powered craft, no matter

where you take it, you can rely on

expert and efficient support from the

international service dealer network.

steers the Drives. Automated triim-tabs improve

the performance and tilt angle during acceleration.

The joystick control system is incredibly intuitive and

simple to use. One hand controls the entire system,

giving you total command of your vessel.

The system is compact and light in weight, consisting

of a transmission unit, control system and counter-

rotating propellers. Draft is reduced, due to

installation in a tunnel. Hydrodynamic design and

the positioning of the propellers counteract drag

to gain performance. Rubber mounts reduce gear

noise and vibration, to give you a quiet, comfortable

ride. Engine exhaust is virtually eliminated by

venting through the propeller hubs.

Thrust from the ZF Pod Drive powered by

Yanmar is horizontal, allowing the full power

from the engines to drive the boat forward,

instead of wastefully pushing down the bow.

remember that no matter where you buy your

Yanmar-powered craft, no matter where you

might take it, you can rely on expert and efficient

support from a fully trained and extensively

equipped international service dealer network.

Subject to boat and operational conditions, you can

expect up to:

• 30% better fuel economy

• 15% better full throttle speed

• 15% better cruising speed

Rotational losses are eliminated, no lateral forces

are produced and cavitation is reduced markedly.

Increased blade dimensions permit larger gear

ratios to be used.

SAFE & PROTECTED

The Pod Drive is designed for safety. Two sacrificial

pieces are incorporated into the system. One is

the fin below the unit, the second is the entire

immersed section. Both are secured by special bolts

that will break away in the case of impact, absorbing

the energy created and thereby avoiding damage to

the hull. Should the Pod Drive hit underwater

debris, the aft-facing propellers are protected by the

gearcase and skeg. Because the Pod is mounted in a

tunnel, the torpedo shape of the drive is the same

depth as the keel and most floating objects will be

deflected downwards and away.

Now you can enjoy your boating to the full, with

unparalleled safety, control and performance. And
