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
