   The drive unit transmits power from the inboard engine, generally mounted above the waterline, outboard through the transom and downward to the propellers below the waterline. [1] The propellers lie about 27 inches further forward than the props of a Duoprop and move from an exposed position beyond the transom to underneath the hull, away from ...

6. Internal drive propulsion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_drive_propulsion

   Water skiers, wakeboarders, swimmers, divers, etc. are not exposed to external propellers. Less potential for damage to internal drive boats from floating debris. Less potential for major drive damage from running aground as with exposed propellers. Better maneuverability and acceleration compared to stern-drive counterparts.
