Boat sail-drive propulsion system
SAIL DRIVE: MOTEUR 11 - 80 CV
Vetus
80 hp. Two transmission ratios (2.49:1 or 2.23:1) have been selected to match engine power and speed to propeller size, with identical ratios both ahead and astern. This feature is ideal for twinengine installations such as a catamaran,
with one left-hand and one right-hand propeller. The overall dimensions are
identical for both ratios. As an example, please see the installation drawing of
engine model M4.17 below. Another advantage of this Sail Drive is that the
underwater drive leg can be fitted 180° reversed. This will permit the engine to be installed ahead or behind the Sail Drive unit for greater flexibility of installation.
