High Propulsive Efficiency
A propeller-based architecture intended to convert available power into useful vessel thrust efficiently.
Podded Propeller Systems
Efficient Main Propulsion for Pontoon and Electric Craft
A compact and efficient propulsion concept for leisure craft and commercial day-passenger vessels. Designed for 8–20 metre boats, with 20–70 kW per unit in single or twin configurations.
Typical vessel length8–20 m
Power range20–70 kW per unit
ConfigurationSingle or twin
Drive compatibilityElectric or hydraulic
Product Overview
Compact Propulsion for Efficient Vessel Layouts
The podded propeller architecture brings the propulsion unit into a compact external arrangement, helping simplify the onboard powertrain layout. It is suited to vessels where efficiency, installation cost and flexible power-source selection are important project priorities.
The system can be configured as a single unit on smaller craft or as a twin installation where the vessel layout and operating profile require two propulsion units.
Key Advantages
A configuration shaped around the application.
Lower Initial Installation Cost
A compact system concept that can reduce the complexity of the main propulsion installation.
Flexible Drive Integration
Suitable for electric or hydraulic drive arrangements according to vessel architecture and project needs.
Single or Twin Configuration
The product range can support different vessel layouts across the 8–20 metre segment.
Typical Applications
Defined around real vessel profiles.
Pontoon Boats
Main propulsion for leisure, hospitality and passenger-oriented pontoon craft.
Electric Boats
A compact propeller solution for vessels designed around electric propulsion.
Day-Passenger Vessels
Suitable for scheduled short-route passenger operations and local excursion services.
Small Commercial Craft
An adaptable propulsion concept for low- to moderate-speed commercial vessel applications.
Configuration and Selection
Final sizing begins with vessel data.
Product selection should consider vessel length, displacement, operating speed, duty cycle, available power source and installation geometry. Final propeller and system configuration are defined according to the vessel project.
