? Improved efficiency, higher speed with less power, re duced fuel consumption/extended range, and powerful acceleration ? Substantially enhanced maneuverbility regardless of speed and excellent course keeping capability offers safe and predictable handling ? Onboard comfort is greatly enhanced thanks to much lower levels of sound, vibrations and exhaust fumes ? Installation is greatly simplified ? More space available for accommodation ? Improved safety and redundancy ? Ease of service, the complete system from helm to propeller cone supported by one supplier All this is combined with the usual benefits of a traditional inboard such as a robust, high strength construction, excellent corrosion resistance and the propellers under the hull.
